How to increase the number of Discovery Threads used in the SMARTS IP server.
High avg_late_polling value, how do I increase polling threads to reduce this value?
Environment
VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS
Resolution
Edit the discovery.conf file and change the value of the numberProbeThreads to a higher value from the default of 10. According to the discovery.conf file the max threads one can use is 100. Please note if you increase the thread count you may need to add more capable CPUs. For more information please consult the EMC Smarts IP Management Suite Deployment Guide.
Restart the IP server.
This can also be accomplished via the command line using (However, it will reset when the domain is restarted): dmctl -s <DM> put ICF_TopologyManager::ICF-TopologyManager:: numberProbeThreads <value>
