Number of samples

The Number of samples setting enables adjustment of PMP analysis to account for highly variable or stable
system performance. A higher number of samples results in smaller average changes in performance.
Therefore, it generates fewer performance bottleneck indications for a server whose performance changes
significantly. Fewer samples can be used for servers with more stable performance or when the sampling
rate is higher.

Performance threshold setting

The hyperlink To Set Performance Threshold values click here enables setting the performance threshold
values for the selected server in a separate page.

Modifying the sample rate

PMP does not control the amount of time between samples. Instead, the sample rate (data collection interval)
is set from within the HP Management Agents. The Management Agents can be modified from the Control
Panel or Internet Explorer.
The sample rate for a network storage enclosure is determined by the servers to which the enclosure is
connected. The sample rate for storage enclosures is the highest sample rate of the connected servers.

Modifying log days

The log days option enables you to choose the number of days for which you need data logged. You can
select a value for this option using the two lists. The first list contains values from 1 through 20. The second
list has options such as days, months, and years. For example, if you select 2 in the first list and Years in
the second list, data is logged for 730 days. The data that was logged first is replaced cyclically as new
data is logged.

Modifying Management Agents from the Control Panel

1. From the Control Panel, open HP Management Agents.
2. Click the SNMP Settings tab.
3. Modify the Data Collection Interval (sample rate) as necessary.
