Simultaneous collection of performance, applications assurance accounting and accounting
statistics records
5620 SAM can collect performance, application assurance, and accounting statistics
records simultaneously. However, it is important to consider that enabling the collection
of one type of statistics will reduce the capability of 5620 SAM to collect and process the
other type of statistics. It is therefore not possible to achieve the maximum stated limits
for performance, application assurance, and accounting statistics records simultaneously,
in certain configurations.
Table 6-12, “5620 SAM Database workstation hardware
requirements for a distributed configuration” (p. 6-14)
shows an example of simultaneous
collection.
Determining the number of performance and accounting statistics records being collected by
5620 SAM
To ensure the number of performance and accounting statistics records that 5620 SAM is
asked to collect and process every 15 minutes remains below the stated scalability
guidelines, it is important to carefully assess the impact of creating and assigning
