Configuring calendars

Explains how to configure calendars by using the Calendar Configuration Tool. You use this tool exclusively for SNMP collector data requests to restrict the SNMP collection time period.

IBM recommends that you collect data on a 24 x 7 basis, which is the default collection period in the Request Editor.

You use a calendar to define periods for SNMP data collection. For example, you can stop SNMP data collection times for a customer site that is closed for business and the network is not being used (no data collection before 8:00 a.m. or after 8 p.m.). This is known as planned outage for Service Level Agreement purposes. The Service Provider has no obligation to the customer during a planned outage.
