I found that I can change individual parameters like ping time from say 5 secs to 15 secs etc. in "RedGate.Monitor.BaseMonitor.exe.settings.config" file but is there any way to summarily change "all metrics" that's being collected including ping etc in one go!

Hi @Mpaul
It is possible to lower the sampling rate of the Base Monitor across all sampler collections.You can change the frequency using the ConfigurationFileEditor utility as described below.- Find the ConfigurationFileEditor.exe tool included under the
C:\Program Files\Red Gate\Redgate Monitor\BaseMonitor\Tools
directory of a base monitor installation. - Right click and run the tool as an Admin
- Click on the Load Configuration File option and then select the "RedGate.SqlMonitor.Engine.Alerting.Base.Service.exe.settings.config" which should be residing under the
C:\ProgramData\Red Gate\Redgate Monitor
directory by default- It's recommended that you save a copy of the config file elsewhere before editing it further- though it should also save a copy itself.
- Once you've loaded the config file choose the "select override" option at the top right and choose either the "1/2 default" (i.e. 15 seconds becomes 30 seconds sampler period) or "1/4 default" options (i.e. 15 seconds becomes 1 minute sampler period)
- Then save the configuration file using the disk icon at the top left and then restart the Redgate Monitor Base Monitor Windows service.
- Please do not change individual sampler frequencies as some samplers rely on others running at the same time and it can cause other issues if they are mismatched.
- Hope this is of assistance, please let us know if not or if you have a specific scenario you're trying to address that requires more input from our side.
