Choose collection options for your CPU Utilization (Performance) monitor:

  1. Select the Protocol with which you want to collect data from the device. If your selection generates an error or WhatsUp Gold informs you the selected protocol may/will not work for the device, please choose an alternate protocol prior to saving your monitor configuration.
  2. Specify if CPU Utilization data should be collected for All CPUs or Specific CPUs. If you plan to monitor utilization for only certain CPUs, enable the applicable checkbox(es) at left in the configuration dialog prior to saving your monitor configuration.
  3. Use the Polling interval (minutes) control provided to indicate how often you want data to be collected.
  4. Expand the Advanced section of the dialog and use the controls provided to modify the Timeout (secs) and Retries settings, if desired.
  5. Click OK to save your monitor configuration.

Please note, data collection will not be disabled by default for any type of CPU data in WhatsUp Gold. To disable data collection for a specific interface (in this example, Intel\(R\) Xeon\(R\) CPU), run the following SQL query:

insert into GlobalSettings (sName, sValue) Values ('cpuFilter', 'Intel\(R\) Xeon\(R\) CPU')

(In this scenario, RegEx is used here to account for the brackets.)

To re-enable collection of this data, run the following SQL query:

update GlobalSettings set sValue='' where sName = 'cpuFilter'

Important: Restart the Ipswitch Service Control Manager service after running any SQL query that affects data collection.
Important: Any configuration to disable Disk, Memory, Interface, or CPU performance data collection stops collection for all devices that match. This enhancement is not device-specific.
