Change the Sampling Mode

About this task

By default, the sampling mode of items in a display is interpolated (1000 samples over the last hour). You can change the sampling mode of data in a display. You can change the mode only to a selected item in a display or to all the items.

You can choose from various sampling modes.

Procedure

  1. Access the display for which you want to change the mode.
  2. Select Mode.
  3. In the Sampling Mode field, select the sampling mode that you want to apply.
  4. In the Sample Increment field, select one of the following options:
    • By Size: Select this option if you want each sample to contain a specific number of data points, and then enter the size. You must enter a value less than the value in the System Configuration page. Otherwise, an error message appears.
    • By Time: Select this option if you want each sample to contain the data points collected in a fixed duration of time.
  5. If you want to use the sampling mode only to the selected item, select Apply. If you want to use the sampling mode to all the items in the display, select Apply to All.
    The sampling mode is changed.
