Monitor scalability and performance

The scalability and performance of Internet service monitors directly affects the volume of services that you can monitor.

Scalability and performance depend on a number of factors:

• Access speed of the disk system used by the monitors
• Response times of the monitored services
• Number of monitor threads running concurrently
• Time between tests
• Number of profiles
• Monitor poll interval

The monitoring environment determines the disk speeds and service response times. Monitor properties control concurrent threading and the time between tests. You control the number of profiles and the monitor polling intervals when you configure the monitors through the Internet Service Monitoring user interface in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
