Use the dsconfig
tool to reduce or modify the frequency of data
collection in the monitored servers.
Monitored servers can produce metric samples every second, which is useful for short-duration changes. These samples are less useful hours later, after the per-second data is aggregated to per-minute data.
To change the base sample production rate from the default of 1 second to 10
seconds, use the
dsconfig
tool.
$ bin/dsconfig set-plugin-prop --plugin-name "Stats Collector" \
--set "sample-interval:10 seconds"
This change reduces the total data volume by about 90
percent.
