Load balancing the PATROL Agent

Load balancing the PATROL Agent involves setting the agent's internal run queue and managing which applications and instances are monitored and which parameters are run. This section describes how to set the agent's internal run queue. For information about how to manage applications, see Loading and monitoring applications.

• • PATROL Agent's scheduling policy
  • Interval between internal processes
  • Increment checking of internal process interval
  • Maximum delay of an internal process

PATROL Agent's scheduling policy

The /AgentSetup/AgentTuning/runqSchedPolicy configuration variable specifies the PATROL Agent's scheduling policy for the main run queue.

Interval between internal processes

The /AgentSetup/AgentTuning/runqDelta configuration variable specifies the gap (in seconds) between processes in the PATROL Agent's run queue.

Increment checking of internal process interval

The /AgentSetup/AgentTuning/runqDeltaIncrement configuration variable specifies the increment (in seconds) used when checking for a gap in the PATROL Agent's run queue.

Maximum delay of an internal process

The /AgentSetup/AgentTuning/runqMaxDelta configuration variable specifies the maximum delay (in seconds) for a process. The runqMaxDelta represents the maximum number of seconds that a job will be delayed from its "ideal" execution time.
