Traffic Data Collector Performance
You can specify the amount of system resources that the data collector can
use. A more detailed network analysis requires more availability of system
resources. The selections are:
■ High Resource Availability—Recommended for systems dedicated to
network management.
■ Medium Resource Availability—Recommended for systems that run other
less performance-sensitive applications.
■ Low Resource Availability—Recommended for systems that run perfor-
mance-sensitive applications.
N o t e If system resource availability is set too low, some EASE segments will be
dropped from monitoring. This could affect the data available for the Top 5
view of traffic as well as the accuracy of Network Advisor reports. Traffic
statistics are always monitored.
N o t e You cannot specify the availability of system resources when you are in
manual mode. The
Apply changes button will be grayed out.
Until you select one of the above settings and click on the Apply button, the
resources dedicated to the Traffic Data Collector are assigned by HP TopTools.
To access this page, select the Performance button in the HP TopTools
