Configuring Statistics Collection Policies

Statistics Collection Policy

Astatistics collection policy defines how frequently statistics are to be collected (collection interval) and how
frequentlythe statistics are to be reported (reporting interval). Reporting intervals are longer than collection
intervalsso that multiple statistical data points can be collected during the reporting interval, which provides
CiscoUCS Manager with sufficient data to calculate and report minimum, maximum, and average values.
ForNIC statistics,Cisco UCS Manager displays the average, minimum, and maximum of thechange since
thelast collection of statistics. If the values are 0, there has been no change since the last collection.
Statisticscan be collected and reported for the following five functional areas of the Cisco UCS system:
• Adapter—statistics related to the adapters
• Chassis—statistics related to the blade chassis
• Host—this policy is a placeholder for future support
• Port—statistics related to the ports, including server ports, uplink Ethernet ports, and uplinkFibre
Channelports
• Server—statistics related to servers
CiscoUCS Manager hasone default statistics collection policy foreach of thefive functional areas. You
cannotcreate additional statistics collection policies and you cannot delete the existing default policies.
Youcan only modify the default policies.
