How to change monitoring time of a node

Monitoring time describes how often a node is checked.

The exact specified time frequency is used for all types of monitoring on the node; including network services, Windows performance counters, SNMP performance counters, Linux performance counters and NetWare performance counters on the node.

It specifies how often the node is checked. It is also possible to indicate separate monitoring times for the Windows, Linux, Max OS X, BSD, SNMP and NetWare performance counters. It is also possible to indicate an entirely separate monitoring time for a specific network service to be monitored on a node.

Apart from being able to specify the monitoring frequency of a node, NetCrunch also allows indicating the time during which the monitoring of a node should be enabled: the days of the week and exact hours.
