Monitor > Disk Bandwidth data collection methodology

ECS data is collected by using a one-hour sliding window to reduce the impact of data collection on the ECS cluster. This means that the Monitor > Disk Bandwidth panel may not show complete data depending on the date/time range that was selected.

Transactions>Performance panel

This panel is similarly to the above panel. This panel may show a delay in data of up to five minutes due to the frequency period this data is collected.

Do not use a VIP when configuring the account details

The use of a VIP when configuring the account in the Technical Add-on will result in the Performance data to not be displayed in ECS version 3.6 and later. An IP of one of the nodes in the VDC should be used.

A ReadTimeoutError may occur on VDCs which contain many nodes.  The timeout can be modified by following these steps.

Note: The higher the value, the higher amount of time the client will wait until a timeout occurs (in seconds).

Disable the Inputs. Go to the location: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/TA-dellecs/bin, and make the below change:

• Copy ecs_connect.py and rename it to ecs_connect.py.bak to create a backup.
• In ecs_connect.py, find the string: self.TIMEOUT=15.
• Change the value of timeout from 15 to 60 (60 seconds).
• Note: This change will affect all three modular inputs (login and data collection).
