Spectrum Control Probe Execution Scheduling Customization below 24 hours

The Data Collection Schedule or Probe Scheduling does not go below an "Every Day" or 24 hours. I would like to be able to schedule the probe to execute multiple times through out a 24 hour period. Having the capability to customize the schedule to run on the hour, 2,4,6,8 hours etc.. would be helpful to our monitoring of Thin Provisioning Pools.

    Thanks for the update. We are looking to find the best way to implement this. One way could be to create a new "performance" metric that could be collected at a minute interval. In that case it's good to understand for which devices this is required.

    I am using fixed block storage devices for mainframe (CKD Devices). They have not been automatically picking up capacity changes in Spectrum Control outside of the 24 hour probing cycle.

    Please let me know if you need more information or if this did not answer the question.

    Hello, can you let us know which devices your are using? The reason for this question is, that there are functions build into the communication, which allows devices to send an event if the capacity usage is changing, so you should not need to do probes more frequently
