LMS 4.2.5 - (HUM) Behavior of Performance-Poller when adding new devices

[lo.mueller]

Hi all,

reading thru the docs I wasn't able to figure out how (HUM)-Performancepollers (e.g. CPU, MEM, TEMP) behave when all devices

are selected as Data Source.

Or:

will (HUM) Data Sources be dynamically updated during device add in LMS-System.

This should be default behavior, to eliminate unnecessary admin-tasks.

Thanks for any feedback

Hi Lothar,

It will poll all the interfaces if you have selected the complete device while configuring the poller .

While configuring the Pollers use the Option called “Poll by User Selection >>  Select the instances on which you want to poll the devices” .

Poll by User Selection > will give you the option of selecting on those interface whihc you want to monitor against the Template (cpu , interface availblity etc)

I have attached the screen shot of the same:

Hi Afroz,

thanks for your reply.

Your explanation describes how interfaces will be handled by HUM, but how

about adding a complete new device into LMS (via DCR) - will this new added device

be automatically added to CPU/MEM/... poller to get performance data from time zero, or

do I have to manually update each poller?

Adding manually would be very bad and not very admin-friendly.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Lothar,

there are 2 types of poller , one is system defined . In that a new devices will automatically will be be added and polled ,however for a user -defined poller , you need to edit and add the new device.

Thanks-
