For determining the relevant frequency of each scenario it is important to consider the following:
- Priority of the scenario
- Impact on all components
Example:
For Outbound PSTN scenarios, the initial thought is often to have the frequency set as high as possible. However, this scenario validation replicates end user behaviors, and the impacts on the associated components. The gateway resources are consumed while this validation is ongoing, therefore having this scenario validated for example, every minute would result in a gateway line being consumed constantly for such validation. PowerSuite’s Monitoring Solution’s available frequencies are:
- Fifteen minutes
- Thirty minutes
- One hour
- Two hours
