Which Dynamic Application is more efficient for File System Utilization

SL1 can trigger two different type of events for when a File System exceeds a threshold:

File System exceeded events are generated via an Internal DA by SL1 and is executed every 5 minutes

Host Resource Storage Utilization events are generated via a Discovered DA from the SNMP agent on the host and can be collected at 5, 10, or 15-minute interval

I am trying to determine which one make more sense to use on linux servers and is not as taxing the data collectors.

Hi Shawn,

I'm not aware of a scale test that pitted Internal Collection File System vs Host Resource Storage Utilization. 

Generally, Internal Collection File System is preferred by our customers because of it's features.

  • It includes the ability to adjust thresholds for individual file systems.
  • It includes the ability to hide file systems that don't need to be monitored. 

Dynamic Application based monitoring only provides the option to adjust threshold per device and there isn't a hide option.

Regards,

Erick
