Intel DCM Customization
Changing Sampling frequency and DB compression/deletion parameters after installation
- Edit the file “C:\Program Files\Intel\DataCenterManager\conf\user.config”
- 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 |
- 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 |
