Overview

SRM Windows File System Agent Summaries provide a concise view of the status of SRM Windows File System entities in the CommCell Console. The status information includes the resource, memory, and CPU usage, as well as other resource-related information. Summary information is provided as images in the form of bar graphs and pie charts to provide a succinct snapshot of the statistical information. While viewing summary, data rows in tables can be sorted by any one of the columns listed in that summary.

When you select a SRM Windows File System entity from the CommCell Console, its summary information appears in the main window. Each section can be expanded or collapsed as desired.


Real-Time Monitoring

Critical information that rapidly changes is automatically collected and updated every 15 minutes by the Bull Calypso Communications Service.

All information of a summary, such as CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, etc. is collected and updated by this Service.

If necessary, you can modify the number of minutes between collections using the nREFRESH_INTERVAL_MINUTES registry key, however it is not recommended as it alters the rate of data collection, which may impact performance.
