Configuring data collection interval

Foglight Hybrid Cloud Manager enables you to configure the interval for data collection using the Agent Status dashboard.

To configure the data collection interval:
1
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, select Administration > Agents > Agent Status.
2
On the Agent Status dashboard, select the AWS agent that you want to monitor, and then click Edit Properties.
The Edit Properties view opens.
3
Select True for Collect Memory Metric and Collect Volume Metric, and then specify a value for Collection Interval Offset.
Quest highly recommends setting the Collector Config (also knowns as Collection interval) to a value greater than 10 minutes. If the Collection interval is less than 10 minutes, AWS agent cannot collect metrics from AWS Cloud Watch as AWS Cloud Watch has a 10-minute delay. If you insist on setting this interval less than 10 minutes, ensure the following:
•
Collection Interval Offset must be set to a non-negative integer.
•
The configuration should follow comply with the formula: (n+1) x I >= 10 minutes.
•
n represents the value of Collection Interval Offset.
•
I represents the value of Collector Config (in minutes).
