    The Discovery, Monitoring and Performance Overrides page is displayed. The discovery type and monitoring intervals set on the available device types is displayed in the table.
  6. Click Edit.
    The Override discovery, monitoring and performance intervals dialog box is displayed.
  7. Customize the monitoring settings by selecting or entering data in the fields:
    1. Select the check box corresponding to the device type whose monitoring properties must be overridden.

Next steps

The recommended default intervals set by the OMIMSSC appliance for the different operations are:

  • Discovery Interval—86400 seconds (24 hours)
  • Health Interval—21600 seconds (6 hours)
  • Metrics Interval—21600 seconds (6 hours)

It is recommended that these intervals are not changed to avoid any possible performance issues. However, if you want to change these intervals, ensure that sufficient resources are reserved, and correct SQL Server design and sizing considerations are followed.
