to take the first sample that is shortly after configuration or startup,
and from then on samples every 5 minutes.
To sample at a specific time every hour, specify the value as
@. For example, to sample every hour at
quarter past the hour, enter 60@15 and select minutes as the units.
The first sample is taken shortly after configuration or startup so
that the status gumball will go out of waiting. Subsequent samples
are then taken as specified.
To sample at a specific time every day, specify the value as @. For example, to sample once a day at quarter past eleven
(local time on the server machine), enter @23:15. The first sample
occurs at the time specified.
You can specify in seconds, minutes, or hours
using the following formats:
Seconds: hh:mm:ss
Minutes: hh:mm
Hours: hh
When specifying midnight, use the format @0.
For a daily interval, you can also use the format 24@hh. The
interval is 24 hours and the hh specifies the number of hours after
midnight Greenwich time. You must select hours as the units. The
first sample is taken shortly after configuration or startup so that the
status gumball will go out of waiting. Subsequent samples are taken
as specified.
You can also specify different sampling intervals based on the
sample’s state using the following syntax:
or ; or
;;. Separate each state interval by a
semi-colon. Each state interval must share the same unites. For
example, 30;20;15 minutes samples every 30 minutes when in a
good state, every 20 minutes in a warning state, and every 15
