42 | Configuring AMP
Default Description
Yes Allows AMP to collect enhanced data from Dell PowerConnect W-Series devices on
certain firmware versions; see the Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave 7.4 Best Practices
Guide in Home > Documentation for more details.
Table 18 describes the settings and default values of this section.
Default Description
Based on the Optional setting configures the throughput of monitoring data. Increasing this setting
number of allows AirWave to process more data per second, but it can take resources away
cores for your from other AirWave processes. Contact Dell support at
server you might need to increase this setting for your network.
5 Increases the number of processes that are pushing configurations to your devices,
as an option. The optimal setting for your network depends on the resources
available, especially RAM. Contact Dell support at
might need to increase this setting for your network.
3 Increases the number of processes that audit configurations for your devices, as an
option. The optimal setting for your network depends on the resources available,
especially RAM. Contact Dell support at
increasing this setting for your network.
No Enables or disables logging detailed records of SNMP configuration information.
No When enabled, AirWave fetches SNMP data more slowly, potentially reducing
device CPU load. Enabling this global setting is recommended when monitoring Dell
PowerConnect W-Series controllers only if your network contains a majority of
legacy controllers (800, 2400, 5000, controllers that use Supervisor Module II). If your
network mainly uses newer processors (3000 series, 600 series, the M3 module in the
6000 series), disabling this setting is strongly recommended.
Low Defines the processing and system resource priority for RAPIDS in relation to
AirWave as a whole.
When AirWave is processing data at or near its maximum capacity, reducing the
priority of RAPIDS can ensure that processing of other data (such as client
connections and bandwidth usage) is not adversely impacted.
The default priority is Low. You can also tune your system performance by changing
group poll periods.
