Lowering Stats Collector Polling Frequency

Lowering the frequency that stats collector polls nodes for statistics can free up memory and lower the load on your server. This is especially applicable to cases where the stats collectors of multiple machines are all polling a single node for statistics.

  1. Access the stats-collector.properties file.
    Find the stats-collector.properties file at C:\\Shares\statscollector\etc\stats-collector.properties.
  2. Uncomment and change the polling.period variable:
    ## The time period at which nodes are polled for new statistics.
    ## Default 1s
    # polling.period=
    For example, increase the polling period to 5 seconds to lower the load on your server:
    
    ## The time period at which nodes are polled for new statistics.
    ## Default 1s
    polling.period=5s
  3. Restart stats collector for the changes to take effect.
    Go to Start Menu > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services to view the list of the Shares services. From this window, stop and start the Aspera Stats Collector service.
