To capture resource monitoring
data from a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent, you must
configure the data source.
Procedure
- On the Location page, specify the
connection and authentication information for the SNMP agent.
- In MIB path, type or browse to the
management information base (MIB) file. Typically, MIB files are supplied
by manufacturers of devices that support SNMP.
- On the Resource page, select the type
of data to capture. The tree view shows the counter groups and counters
that are available from the application server. Be selective; monitoring
all possible resource data requires substantial amounts of memory.
Hold your mouse pointer over a counter to see details about what that
counter measures.
- Configure the options on the Options page.
- Click Reset counters at start of run (client
side reset only) to set the counters to 0 at the start
of a schedule run. This setting does not change the actual
values of the counters on the device that runs the SNMP agent. Instead,
the recorded values of the counters are corrected to start at 0.
- In Polling Interval, specify
in seconds the interval for collecting resource data. For example,
if you accept the default setting of 5 seconds, counter information
is collected at 5-second intervals from the specified host during
the schedule run.
- In Timeout Interval, specify
in seconds the time to wait for a response. If the resource monitoring
host does not respond within this amount of time during a schedule
run, an error is logged.
- To collect the resource monitoring data for the system under test that is in the cloud, in the
Cloud Options tab, click the Location in Public Cloud
check box.
- Click Next.
- Specify a location and name and click Finish.
