Configuring Sampling Intervals
The sampling interval is the period of time between polls of the switch’s consumable resources to moni-
tor performance vis-a-vis previously specified thresholds. The health interval command can be used to
configure the sampling interval between health statistics checks.
To configure the sampling interval, enter the health interval command, followed by the number of
seconds.
For example, to specify a sampling interval value of 6 seconds, enter the following command:
-> health interval 6
Valid values for the seconds parameter include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, or 30.
Note. If the sampling interval is decreased, switch performance may be affected.
Viewing Sampling Intervals
The show health interval command can be used to display the current health sampling interval (period of
time between health statistics checks), measured in seconds.
To view the sampling interval, enter the show health interval command. The currently configured health
sampling interval (measured in seconds) will be displayed, as shown below:
-> show health interval
Sampling Interval = 5
