Create Log Interval Configuration

To collect the usage data on the CA SDM servers, add the servers to the Interval Log Configuration list. You can select the type of data you want to collect from each server, and also change the logging options for the servers at any point.

For example, if you select only the CPU usage option for a particular server, the utility collects CPU usage data on the server.

Follow these steps:

1. Select System, Interval Logging from the Administration tab.

   The Interval Log Configuration List page opens.

2. Click Create New to add an interval logging configuration.

   The Create New Interval Log Configuration page opens.

3. Complete the fields as appropriate for the configuration.

   See Interval Log Configuration Fields for the field definitions.

4. Select the appropriate interval log you want to collect from the server.

   For example, select CPU Usage if you want to collect the log for CPU usage data.

   CPU Usage

   Collect the CPU usage statistics for the server by executing the pslist –x on Windows, or “ps” on Unix.

   Memory Usage

   Collects the memory usage data for the server by executing the pslist –m on Windows, or “ps” on Unix.

   Network Status
