10. Locate the Performance section. Performance tuning is unlikely to be necessary for many AMP
implementations, and likely provides the most improvements for customers with extremely large Pro or
Enterprise installations. Please contact Dell support at support.dell.com if you think you might need to
change any of these settings. Table 17 describes the settings and default values of this section.
11. Select Save when the General Server settings are complete and whenever making subsequent changes.
Use embedded mail
server
Yes Enables or disables the embedded mail server that is included with AMP.This field
supports a Send Test Email button for testing server functionality. This button prompts you
with a To and From field in which you must enter valid email addresses, and a button to
send a test email.
Process user roaming
traps from Cisco WLC
Yes Whether AMP should parse client association and authentication traps from Cisco WLC
controllers to give real time information on users connected to the wireless network.
Enable AMON data
collection
Yes Allows
AMP to collect enhanced data from Dell PowerConnect W-Series devices on
certain firmware versions; see the Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave Best Practices Guide
for more details.

Setting Default Description
Monitoring
Processes
Based on the
number of
cores for your
server
Optional setting configures the throughput of monitoring data. Increasing this
setting allows AMP to process more data per second, but it can take resources
away from other AMP processes. Please contact Dell support at at
support.dell.com if you think you might need to increase this setting for your
network.
Maximum number of
configuration
processes
5 Increases the number of processes that are pushing configurations to your
devices, as an option. The optimal setting for your network depends on the
resources available, especially RAM. Please contact Dell support at
support.dell.com if you think you might need to increase this setting for your
network.
Maximum number of
audit processes
3 Increases the number of processes that audit configurations for your devices,
as an option. The optimal setting for your network depends on the resources
available, especially RAM. Contact Dell support at support.dell.com if you are
considering increasing this setting for your network.
Verbose Logging of
SNMP Configuration
No Enables or disables logging detailed records of SNMP configuration
information.
SNMP Rate Limiting
for Monitored
Devices
No When enabled, AMP fetches SNMP data more slowly, potentially reducing
device CPU load. Enable this global setting when monitoring Dell PowerConnect
W controllers only if your network contains a majority of legacy controllers (800,
2400, 5000, controllers that use Supervisor Module II).
NOTE: If your network mainly uses newer processors (3000 series, 600 series,
the M3 module in the 6000 series), disabling this setting is strongly
recommended.
RAPIDS Processing
Priority
Low Defines the processing and system resource priority for RAPIDS in relation to
AMP as a whole.
When AMP is processing data at or near its maximum capacity, reducing the
priority of RAPIDS can ensure that processing of other data (such as client
connections and bandwidth) is not adversely impacted.
The default priority is Low. You can also tune your system performance by
changing group poll periods.
