Hello,
What is the data collection/polling interval set up in vcenter 5.1, if lets say I do like this,
setup an alarm to get triggered if CPU utilization is 90% for 10minutes
1. In other words, how does the data polling work for that 10minute interval setup above?
2. Does the polling happen at specific intervals?
If yes is there a way to confirm this setting?
If yes, does this specific interval applies to all the metrics such as network bandwidth utilization, memory utilization etc. ? or the interval varies with the type of metric?
3. If the data collection/polling occurs at specific intervals, does the vcenter average the CPU utilization data for that 10min interval and checks if it is in or out of bound from the threshold set above?
Also,
I have gone through Page 12 of the vSphere Monitoring and Performance, but did not see much detail on the polling intervals.
It would be great if you can point me a document and/or share with me the correct information.
regards,
Tom
