RE: How to modify a metric collection interval in Grid Control?

I think I found it.

It's not stored in the db at all it seems.

It uses xml files in the $AGENT_HOME/sysman/admin/default_collection.

I found the "database.xmlp" file which defined the 7 Day interval for Tablespace Allocation.

Here's the entry in the file:

<!--

• Category: Tablespace Allocation
• DB Versions: pre-8 to 10gR1
• Fetchlet: SQL

  ---

  
  -->
  <CollectionItem NAME="tbspAllocation"> <ValidIf> <CategoryProp NAME="VersionCategory" CHOICES="pre8;8i;8iR2;9i;9iR2;10gR1;10gR2;10gR203;11gR1"/> </ValidIf>

    <Schedule>
      <IntervalSchedule INTERVAL="7" TIME_UNIT="Day"/>     </Schedule>

    <MetricColl NAME="tbspAllocation" />   </CollectionItem>

ALTHOUGH, I updated this to "1" day, and reloaded the agent, Grid Control is still showing "7" days under All Metrics for this target.

It appears I'm still missing something.

Actually, you'd be looking for the "Metric and Policy Settings" link to change that, but of course I don't see it there on 10.2.0.3.0.

One workaround would be to create your own metric, but that seems a bit silly, plus you wouldn't have any of the history transferred to your new metric.

If you get an answer from Oracle, can you post it please?

GL!

Rich
