Refresh interval: It adjusts CPU refresh interval by setting in milliseconds (ms). You can set Enable warning and Enable alarm if CPU usage exceeds to a percentage value. In the figure above, if CPU usage is 80% then a warning is triggered. If CPU usage is 95% then an alarm is triggered.
Check RAM usage : It activates Refresh interval, Enable warning and alarm. You can adjust RAM refresh interval by setting Refresh interval in milliseconds (ms). You can set Enable warning and Enable alarm if RAM usage exceeds to a percentage value. In the figure above, if RAM usage is 80% then a warning is triggered. If RAM usage is 95% then an alarm is triggered.
...
Check used disk space: It activates Refresh interval, Enable warning and alarm. You can adjust used disk space, refresh interval by setting Refresh interval in milliseconds (ms). You can set Enable warning and Enable alarm if used disk space usage exceeds to a percentage valuetoapercentage value. In the figure above, if used disk space usage is 80% then a warning is triggered. If used disk space usage is 95% then an alarm is triggered. You can check any disk or all the disks by checking appropriate checkboxes.

Encoders & Profiles Profiles
The Control Agent checks file sizes, the consistencies between encoders and profiles and also frame buffer usage in order to detect the errors occurred in Metus Ingest application.
...
The file size should be getting bigger and bigger during recording in Ingest application. If in any case the file size does sizedoes not change, it means that the encoder is blasted. Therefore you should check the time threshold that the file size filesize does not change.
Check file size while encoding activates the options related to the file size.
No file size change threshold: In the figure above, if the file size does not change in 30 sec. , then the profile is restarted with Restrart profile if file is not changing section.
During recording, there can be some inconsistency problems occurred between the encoder and the profiles. It seems that the encoder and the profiles work fine, but actually one or more defined profiles can not run normally, so the user suppose that the recording done by doneby Ingest seems ok.
Check the state of encoders and profiles for inconsistency: By activating this option in the figure above, if the inconsistent state lasts 30 sec., then the Ingest restarts the encoder.
