Use the following procedure to change environmental data settings:
Select [Tools]-[Options] from the ROR console menu.
The [Options] dialog is displayed.
Click the [Environmental Data] category title, and input the following items in the displayed area.
Select the [Power] checkbox to start collecting power consumption data.
Enter the time interval of the data collection (1-6 or 10).
The number of devices that can be monitored simultaneously depends on the value of this polling interval and the load put on the admin server. The following values are guidelines.
Polling Interval | Number of Devices that can be Monitored Simultaneously |
|---|---|
5 minutes | Up to 40 devices |
10 minutes | Up to 60 devices |
Use a polling interval of 5 minutes or longer when monitoring chassis and servers. Use a polling interval of 10 minutes if monitoring more than 40 devices.
Enter storage periods for each collection rate. Data older than the configured storage period will be deleted every day.
Enlarging data storage periods reduces the number of devices that can be monitored simultaneously.
Use the default storage period values when monitoring chassis and servers.
Click <Apply>.
The new settings are applied.
Note
If the [Power] checkbox under [Data to collect] is cleared, the collection of power consumption data (including the calculation of hourly, daily, and other summarized data) will not be performed anymore.
