The impact of discovery on Application Discovery server memory usage

Memory use might be higher during the initial warmup period when application discovery is at its height, and lessening over time as the majority of discovery is completed.

Modifying the maximum size of an event list

Prerequisite: You must have “VSE All Tools” authorization to set visibility attributes. (See “User authorizations” in Insight Dynamics help for a discussion of tool box permissions.)

To set event list size, do the following steps.

1.Click the Admin/Config tab, then the AD Server tab.

2.Locate the drop-down “Max Events” listed at the bottom of the Server Configuration box to the left of the graph.

3.Select the maximum number of events to store in the primary event log.

Event lists are pruned periodically to the number set in “Max Events”. The new setting is applied the next time the list is pruned.

Setting data polling interval

You can set the frequency at which the Application Discovery agent sends fresh data to the Application Discovery server. You can set polling for processes and for packages separately.

Prerequisite: You must have “VSE All Tools” authorization to set visibility attributes. (See “User authorizations” in Insight Dynamics help for a discussion of tool box permissions.)

1.Click the following tabs: Admin/Config, then AD Agents.

2.Find the global settings box on the left of the screen.

Table 3-2 Global settings for refresh of data from Application Discovery agent

Interval type

Description

Global host/process interval

Frequency of update for host and process data. Default value: 5m (once every

 

5 minutes)

Global package interval

Frequency of update for package data. Default value: 5h (once every five

 

hours)

3.Select an interval from the drop down list that appears to the right of each interval type.
