The agent allows you to manage certain aspects of how it gathers performance data on Windows systems. You can determine the following aspects:
Note
These parameters only apply to the PATROL Agent running on Windows systems.
The /AgentSetup/PerfGetMaxTimes agent configuration variable determines the number of data points that the persistent data collection program collects before it restarts itself. Zero (0) indicates that the program does not restart itself.
Format and type of data | Numeric, data points |
Default value | 0 (do not restart) |
Minimum and maximum | Not applicable |
Dependencies | None |
Recommendation | None |
The /AgentSetup/PerfGetTimeout agent configuration variable determines how long the agent waits for a response from the persistent data collection program.
Format and type of data | Numeric, milliseconds |
Default value | 10000 |
Minimum and maximum | Not applicable |
Dependencies | None |
Recommendation | None |
The /AgentSetup/PerfGetDebugFile agent configuration variable specifies the file to which the persistent data collection program writes debug information. The agent creates this file only if a "serious" error occurs. The debug level, and thus the definition of "serious," is set internally. You cannot alter it.
Format and type of data | Text string, path and file name |
Default value | " " (empty string = do not create file) |
Minimum and maximum | Not applicable |
Dependencies | None |
Recommendation | None |
