Intel DCM Customization

Changing Sampling frequency and DB compression/deletion parameters after installation

  1. Edit the file “C:\Program Files\Intel\DataCenterManager\conf\user.config”

 

 

  1. Change the desired parameter values:

 

Parameter

Description

Valid Values

Type

NODE_POWER _SAMPLING_FREQUENCY

Frequency with which a node is polled for power consumption data, in seconds. 0 means not sampled. Intel(R) DCM uses monitoring cycles of 360 seconds (6 minutes), starting at the beginning of each hour. When you change the sampling frequency, Intel(R) DCM waits until the beginning of the next monitoring cycle to implement the change.  

Integer. values: 0, 30, 60, 180, 360 (default: 60)   

Read, Write

NODE_THERMAL _SAMPLING_FREQUENCY

Frequency with which a node is polled for inlet temperature consumption data, in seconds. 0 means not sampled. Intel(R) DCM uses monitoring cycles of 360 seconds (6 minutes), starting at the beginning of each hour. When you change the sampling frequency, Intel(R) DCM waits until the beginning of the next monitoring cycle to implement the change.  

Integer. values: 0, 30, 60, 180, 360 (default: 60)

Read, Write

NODE_THERMAL_MEASUREMENT_GRANULARITY

Resolution of thermal data measurements that are stored in the Intel(R) DCM database for further query/metric usage.

Integer.

Values: 30, 60, 180, 300, 360, 600, 1800, and 3600 seconds

Read, Write

NODE_POWER_MEASUREMENT_GRANULARITY

Resolution of power data measurements that are stored in the Intel(R) DCM database for further query/metric usage.

Integer.

Values: 30, 60, 180, 300, 360, 600, 1800, and 3600 seconds

Read, Write

TIME_UNTIL_DB _COMPRESSION

The amount of time, in days, to wait until compressing collection history data. Compression keeps one value per node per hour.

number of days between 1 and 14 as integer (default: 7)

Read, Write

TIME_UNTIL_DB _DELETION

The amount of time, in days, to wait until deleting collection history data. Starts from collection date.

number of days between 1 and 365 as integer (default: 365)

Read, Write

 

  1. Save the file and restart Intel DCM

 

The recommended measurement data granularity is listed in the following table:

 

Number of Nodes

Recommended Granularity for Managed Nodes

Recommended Granularity for Unmanaged Nodes

<= 1000

30 seconds

600 seconds

1001 to 5000

180 seconds

 

5001 to 10000

360 seconds
