Time of Day is when Traffic Analyst will poll and/or store the collected data for the switch.
The data collected will be for the previous day.
Polling and Alarm Interval lets you select the polling interval -- daily, hourly, or half-
hourly. If you select hourly or half-hourly processing, then specify the minutes after the
hour that you wish the processing to occur. We recommend using hourly processing if you
are polling a large switch via AMO Data Collection and do not want a large file residing on
the switch or want to risk losing data. Also, Traffic Analyst will perform hourly processing
automatically if Hourly Alarms have been setup.
Perform Interval Processing allows you to designate how many minutes after the interval
(selected in the Polling and Alarm Interval dropdown) polling should be processed. For
example, if you choose 10 minutes for this field, and the Polling & Alarm Interval is Hourly,
polling will be processed at 12:10AM, 1:10AM, 2:10AM, etc. If you choose 10 minutes for
this field and the Polling & Alarm Interval is Half-Hourly, polling will be processed at
12:10AM, 12:40AM, 1:10AM, 1:40AM, etc.
