Chapter 10 Managing Performance
How Is Performance Data Collected?
10.3.3 Activating or Deactivating Performance Monitoring
The PM Service property sheet allows users to activate or deactivate global performance management
data collection and change NE performance management collection parameters.
To activate or deactivate PM Services for an NE model:
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer window, choose Administration > Control Panel.
Step 2 In the Control Panel window, expand PM Service.
Step 3 Select an NE type to open the PM Service property sheet. Choose MGX 8880/8850 MG.
Step 4 All the NEs monitored by the server stop collecting performance management data if the Deactivate
button is clicked in the Status area. (Notice that the service status toggles to Not Active.) Click Activate
to resume performance management data collection. The Activate or Deactivate button is in the PM
Service property sheet of the MGX8850, and MGX8880 NEs.
Note If you need to activate or deactivate the PM Service again, go to the Service Monitor Table
(choose Administration > Service Monitor in the Domain Explorer) to verify that the service
has stopped or started before clicking the Activate or Deactivate button again.
Step 5 Ensure that the PM Service has started. In the Domain Explorer, choose Administration >
Service Monitor. The Service Monitor Table should include an entry for the relevant PM Service.

Collection Time

Allows you to filter data for a specified time period, ranging from the past hour to
the past 180 days. Additionally, you can click the User Specified radio button to
specify an exact filter starting and ending time by month, day, year, and hour. The
time zone can be Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), a user-defined offset from GMT,
or local time, depending on what is specified in the User Preferences dialog box.
If you want to filter data and the time period is not important, click No Time
Specified.
Note Cisco MGM automatically updates the time display for daylight saving
time.
Model Type As NE model types are not applicable, “System” is displayed as the model type.
Parameter Name Allows you to move parameters back and forth between the list of available
parameter names and selected parameter names. The filter runs on the parameters
in the Selected Parameter Names list.
