Managing collection schedules

Use the Manage Collection Schedules dashboard to create and manage the schedules that define the frequency at which the .NET performance counters only agents collect data.

Agents use the default schedule unless you create and assign a different collection schedule through this view.

Increasing WMI polling memory values

By default, the .NET agent can monitor up to 250 total objects when the default values for Polling WMI Memory Per User and WMI Polling Memory Total are used. This total object count includes the number of web sites, the number of web applications, and the number of application pools.

For environments with higher object counts, you may need to increase both of the Polling Memory values to ensure that a quota violation error is not triggered.

 
* 
NOTE: These changes apply only to local agents. They have no effect on remotely hosted counter agents.
To increase the polling memory values:
1
On the Application Servers Administration dashboard, click the name of the monitoring agent for which you want to adjust the memory values.
2
In the menu that opens, click Properties.
3
At the bottom of the Agent Properties dialog box, click the down arrow beside Advanced Settings.
4
Adjust the values for either the Total or the Per User polling memory as necessary.
WMI Polling Memory Per User is the maximum amount of memory that can be consumed when polling event queries that a particular user issues. Default value is 25MB.
WMI Polling Memory Total is the total amount of memory that can be consumed when polling event queries that all users issue. Default value is 50MB.
5
Click OK.
6
Stop and restart the data collection.
