How do I prevent suspect-interval data spikes in classic management reports?

Purpose

Statistics counters continue to accumulate on the NE during suspect intervals, for example, during a communication outage between the NSP 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. Consequently, an impossible value, such as a utilization greater than 100%, may be collected and result in a data spike in an Analytics chart.

Perform this procedure to help prevent such 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 managing suspect data records.

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
