Indicates the intervals at which metering and forecasting are done for the keys specified in the Meters attribute. The attribute value cannot be overridden.
See Meters.
At every ForecastCycle, the ForecastFlag key of VCSInfo attribute will be set to 1 which is passed to the meter entry point to perform the forecasting.
This attribute includes the following keys:
MeterInterval
Frequency in seconds at which metering is done by the agent that supports metering. If the value is configured as 600, it indicates that agent calls meter entry point after every 600 seconds and sends the systems resource utilization data to the VCS engine.
ForecastCycle
The number of metering cycles after which forecasting of available capacity is done. If the value of MeterInterval is 60 seconds and ForcastCycle is 5 seconds then forecasting will be done after every 300 seconds.
You cannot modify the value at run time. User can set value in the type.cf file for the respective agent.
Type and dimension: integer-association
Default:static int MeterControl{} = { MeterInterval=600, ForecastCycle=0 }
