polling usage interval

Sets the sampling interval to be used when storing polled data in the trending database.

polling usage interval <collection-rate> <billing-rate>
 
no polling usage interval
 

• collection-rate--polling rate; frequency of data collection from routers in seconds (range: 5 through 300)
• billing-rate--ISP’s sampling rate, for billing, in seconds (range: 5 through 3600)

Must be in link configuration mode (config-engine-link), which requires privileged-level access.

collection-rate--30

billing-rate--300

Once for each service provider link

The polling usage interval command sets the frequency at which the CNA link monitor process will gather link-usage data from the edge router and tells CNA the usage-sampling interval used by your ISP to calculate your bill.

Changing the interval will delete existing usage data from the trending database.

Set the value of the billing-rate to the interval that your ISP uses for its billing calculations. This value must be a multiple of the interval specified by the collection-rate argument. If it is not, the command will not be accepted and an error message will be displayed.

Collected data will be stored in the CNA’s internal trending database so that you can generate trend report charts showing actual usage as well as graphs which approximate your ISP’s billing samples.

See the polling usage on command for additional polling details.

Use the no form of the polling usage interval command to revert to default collection-rate and billing-rate values.
