Collector Settings¶
The Admin > Settings > Collector Settings tray contains the following settings:
Resolve Hosts at Collection Time |
Forces DNS name resolution for every host seen when flows are collected (only necessary for Flow Analytics domain exclusions and Rev 2nd level domain reports)
*Note: Enabling this feature may result in significant latency at high flow volumes. For assistance, contact Plixer Technical Support.
|
Auto SNMP Update |
Enables re-discovery of SNMP devices at 1:00 am every day. |
Low Resource Fallback Cooldown Period |
Amount of time (in seconds) to wait between low resource fallback “stages” (to prevent unwarranted feature or exporter pausing) |
Low Resource Fallback Exporter Chunk Size |
Number of exporters to pause or resume as a group when required for low resource fallback or recovery |
Allowed Flow Rate Multiplier Percent |
Multiplier/percentage of maximum supported flow rate that will not immediately trigger low resource fallback to accommodate brief spikes in flow rates
*Note: Sustained flow rates exceeding 100% of the rated limit may result in stability issues.
|
Low Resource Fallback Mode |
Select one of three modes to define Plixer Scrutinizer’s low resource fallback behavior |
Listener Port |
Ports that will be used to listen for NetFlow or sFlow traffic (separate by comma) |
Important
In distributed environments, these settings will be applied to all collectors in the cluster.
