Advanced configuration parameters for Hitachi NAS
Sometimes the file operations per seconds (FOPS) for a Hitachi NAS filer may be affected once Data Insight starts fetching events. Data Insight introduces an idle period between two successive read calls to let the filer improve the speed of file operations.
You can configure the following parameters to tune Hitachi NAS filer:
max_events_to_pull | Specifies the maximum number of raw events fetched by Data Insight per execution of Default value is 300000. |
max_valid_events | Specifies the maximum number of events that can be stored in the Data Insight audit database. Default value is 100000. |
min_events_per_run | For all the read calls which fetch less number of events than min_events_per_run, Data Insight sleeps for sleep_per_run microseconds, before making next read call. Default value is 100. You can set this parameter to fetch events at an optimized rate which does not degrade the performance of the filer. If the number of events to be fetched is too high, some of the events might be lost. In a single invocation of audit utility Data Insight makes read calls till it finds no new events to be fetched. |
sleep_per_run (in microseconds) | Specifies the amount of time by which Data Insight waits between two successive read calls if the minimum number of events fetched per read call decreases below the value specified by the min_events_per_run parameter Default value is 500000 microseconds (0.5 seconds). |
max_audit_interval (in minutes) | Specifies the approximate time interval after which audit file would be generated. Default value is 10 minutes. |
To alter the configuration parameters, you can use configdb.exe command from the Data Insight Management Server.
For example:
configdb.exe -o -T filer -k 2 -J max_events_to_pull -j 50000
Where,
o- Object attribute
k- Filer ID
J- Attribute name
j- Attribute value
