Steady-state demand on system resources

You can tune IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring to reduce steady-state demand on system resources.

Steady-state demand is the constant demand, at all times and without interruption, on the availability of system resources. It exists even when users are not logged in to IBM Enterprise Portal Server. Here are some examples of jobs and processes that cause steady-state demand:

• Background collectors
• Historical collection
• Auto-started situations
• Policies

Reduce steady-state demand by:

• Distinguishing between critical and noncritical thresholds.
• Disabling data collection for noncritical resources.
• Tuning thresholds.
• Configuring data collection intervals.
