Sarah,
Maybe I mis-spoke (of you're on UNIX).

On NetView NT there is the -q options (to specify the number of
ping-threads),
and -Q to specify the number of SNMP threads.
Sarah,
Maybe I spoke to soon...

I don't know if netmon supports this on UNIX.  It is on NetView NT.

Do a netmon -h  (or netmon -?) and see if it is listed.
It was on NV NT.

If so... modify your /usr/OV/lrf/netmon.lrf file and restart netmon.

Maybe someone from 3rd-level support can chime in here.

Regards,

Gary Boyles

How do you increase the number of ping threads with Netview?

Have you tried increasing the number of ping-threads?

Hello, everyone,

Here's the teaser question of the week: Has anyone tried to, or know of
someone who has tried to, modify netmon to use fping vs. ping? I'm dealing
with consistent netmon backlogs since the v6.0.1 upgrade (it used to stay
current. We have a PMR open on this issue.) and we can't reduce the status
interval. We're looking at several options (one being a local  Linux poller
at each data center, etc.) to get around it but was just wondering if this
had been tried.
