How do I prevent spikes in reports after missed collections and suspect intervals?

Purpose

Statistics counters continue to accumulate on the NE during suspect intervals, for example, when there are communication outages between the NFM-P and the NE. In the first successful collection interval following the last suspect interval, the periodic counter value reflects the count of all suspect intervals. A spike appears in plots or Analytics charts, where report content may contain impossible values, such as a utilization greater than 100%.

Perform this procedure to prevent these spikes by increasing the periodic time value for the first successful interval following the last suspect interval. See the NSP Administrator Guide for more information about configuring system preferences.

Steps


1	Choose Administration→System Preferences from the NFM-P main menu. The System Preferences form opens.
2	Click on the Statistics tab.
3	Enable the Accumulate time over suspect intervals parameter and configure all other required parameters.
4	Save your changes and close the form. End of steps
