Agent Status and Agent Properties dashboards

Similar to other cartridges, the Agent Status and Agent Properties dashboards allow you to edit an agent’s properties. Use the Data Collection Scheduler setting on these dashboards to modify the data collection schedule to be used to collect performance metrics.

Figure 45. Data Collection Scheduler

Use the controls in this panel as described in the following table.

Active Directory Metrics Management dashboard

The Active Directory Metrics Management dashboard lists the metrics that can be optionally collected by an Active Directory® agent. Using this dashboard, you can enable these metrics to pinpoint specific performance issues or to modify the interval to be used to collect data.

The metrics displayed on the Active Directory Metrics Management dashboard are divided into the following components:

•
Sections show the metric collections that are configurable for Active Directory agents. Using the Metrics Management dashboard, you can modify the interval and time unit for each section which defines when data is to be collected.
•
Collection Groups contain the individual metrics. Using the Metrics Management dashboard, you can enable or disable collection groups. Once enabled, you can also specify to display the collected metrics in a collection group on the Active Directory views.
 
* 
NOTE: The content of the Metrics Management dashboard is attached to the default data collection schedule (defaultSchedule) property for an agent. If a user-defined data collection schedule is being used to collect metrics, you must use the Data Collection Scheduler setting on an agent’s properties page to manage the data collection schedule.
NOTE: The metrics that are collected and displayed by default are NOT displayed on the Active Directory Metrics Management dashboard, because they cannot be disabled.
 
Figure 46. Active Directory Metrics Management dashboard

The Active Directory Metrics Management dashboard contains the following information for each collection metric.

To expand the Active Directory Collections to display the sections, collection groups and individual metrics, click the expansion box to the far left of the collection, section or collection group name.

Section

Displays the interval and time unit to be used to collect data. By default, the interval and time unit displayed are the default settings defined in the defaultSchedule.

NOTE: Changing the interval or time unit on the Metrics Management dashboard will also change the collection interval for the corresponding collector on the Agent Properties page.

Collection Group

Indicates whether the metrics in the collection group are to be collected and/or displayed.

•
Collecting - A green check mark in this column indicates that the metrics in the collection group are to be collected.
•
Display - A green check mark in this column indicates that the metrics in the collection group are to be displayed.
NOTE: You can only enable the display after the collecting flag has been enabled for a collection group.

Managing Active Directory metrics

You can only use the Metrics Management dashboard to enable or disable the collection and/or display of optional performance metrics. However, depending on the data collection schedule being used to collect metrics, you can use the Agent Status (agent properties page), Agent Properties or Metrics Management dashboard to modify a collection interval.

•
When using the default data collection schedule (defaultSchedule), you can use the Agent Status, Agent Properties or Metric Management dashboard to modify data collection intervals.
•
When using a user-defined data collection schedule, you must use the Agent Status or Agent Properties dashboard to manage data collection schedules.

For details, see these topics:

•
Using the Metrics Management dashboard
•
Using the Agent Status and Agent Properties dashboards

Using the Metrics Management dashboard

Using the Active Directory Metrics Management dashboard, you can modify the interval and time unit for metric sections, enable/disable the collection of optional metrics in collection groups, or specify to display the collected metrics in a collection group.

To display this dashboard, select Active Directory Environment > Administration tab > Metrics Management from the dashboards listed in the navigation pane.

To modify the interval or time unit of a section:
