I am hoping someone can explain this for me. Why are there multiple cycle time variables?
I looked on the zenoss docs on the website and couldn't even find a description for zCommandCycleTime. Then i looked in the 2.0 pdf docs that i downloaded from sourceforge and it gave me the following info. zCommandCycleTime The cycle time yo use when executing zcommnads for this device or organizer. Data Source Cycle Time The Cycle time indicates how often to re-collect data from this data source. My main questions are how do these two cycle times interact? Does it effect the data collected if one is higher than the other? I am having a problem where my data seems to be taking an average over time rather than recording the actual number values. I had all the settings at their defaults, my data source cycle time was set to 300 sec (= 5 minutes), and the zCommandCycleTime was set to 60 in the zproperties. I am expecting whole integers 0,1,2,3 as a result from my command and I can see in the zcommand logs that the value is coming in as expected, but in my graphs i am getting decimal values that means somehow the data is not being stored as it should. Should these cycle times equal each other to assure that only one sample is collected for each cycle and therefore it could not be averaged out? ------------------------ A. G.
