Summary

New Feature: Ability to Customize Graph Data Intervals In Argent Commander

This feature is useful for customers who want specific granularities of data for different metrics

This feature also ensures the time scale is linear, so customers can spot outages in performance data

Technical Background

This is configured on an enterprise-wide (NOT user-based) scale

The configuration is stored in XML\ARGSOFT_INTERVALS.XML

This XML file supports wildcards ‘*’ — here is an example:


<ARGENT>

	<!-- Wildcards (*) are supported in all cases -->
<GRAPH MACHINE ="ARGENT_SAMPLE" OBJECT ="Processor" COUNTER ="% Processor Time" INSTANCE="*" MINUTES ="5" /> <GRAPH MACHINE ="ARGENT_SAMPLE" OBJECT ="LogicalDisk" COUNTER ="% Free Space" INSTANCE="*" MINUTES ="10" /> </ARGENT>

Resolution
