Setting Default Description
Monitoring
Processes
(1-16)
Based on the
number of
cores for your
server
Optional setting configures the throughput of monitoring data. Increasing this
setting allows AirWave to process more data per second, but it can take
resources away from other AirWave processes. Contact Dell support at
support.dell.com if you think you might need to increase this setting for your
network.
Maximum number of
configuration
processes
(1-80)
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. 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
(1-80)
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.
SNMP Fetcher Count
(2-6)
2
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, AirWave fetches SNMP data more slowly, potentially reducing
device CPU load. This setting is used for networks containing legacy controllers
not available through Dell. Dell recommends not enabling this setting.
Collect Syslog and
SNMP trap Device
Events
Yes This option specifies whether traps used to detect roaming events, auth failures,
AP up/down status, and IDS events will still be collected if they are sent by
managed devices.
RAPIDS Processing
Priority
Low Defines the processing and system resource priority for RAPIDS in relation to
AirWave as a whole.
When AirWave 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 usage) is not adversely impacted.
The default priority is Low. You can also tune your system performance by
changing group poll periods.
If you select Custom for the priority, then also specify the RAPIDS custom
process limit.
RAPIDS custom
process limit
(1-16)
1 when Custom
is specified for
the RAPIDS
Processing
Priority.
Sets the maximum number of monitoring process assigned to RAPIDS work.
Note that this option is only available if Custom is specified for the Rapics
Processing Priority.
