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
The /AgentSetup/AgentTuning/runqSchedPolicy configuration variable specifies the PATROL Agent's scheduling policy for the main run queue.
Values | The scheduling policy can be the sum of the following values: |
Default Vvalue | 1 |
Minimum and maximum | 1, 15 |
Dependencies | None |
Recommendation | If the value is set to 1 or 2, the scheduling algorithm forces a spacing of runqDelta seconds between execution times of jobs in the Main Run Queue. The runqMaxDelta represents the maximum number of seconds that a job will be delayed from its "ideal" execution time. |
Interval between internal processes
The /AgentSetup/AgentTuning/runqDelta configuration variable specifies the gap (in seconds) between processes in the PATROL Agent's run queue.
Format and type of data | Numeric, seconds |
Default value | 8 |
Minimum and maximum | 1, none |
Dependencies | None |
Recommendation | None |
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.
Format and type of data | Numeric, seconds |
Default value | 2 |
Minimum and maximum | 1, must be less than or equal to the runqDelta |
Override | None |
Dependencies | None |
Recommendation | None |
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.
Format and type of data | Numeric, seconds |
Default value | 40 |
Minimum and maximum | 10, none |
Override | None |
Dependencies | None |
Recommendation | None |
