Note: Existing performance data is reset (lost) when you change the interval configuration. However, only the data for that interval is reset. For example, if you change only the weekly time interval, the daily and monthly data are maintained.

1. Start the VirtualCenter client.
2. Choose File > VMware VirtualCenter Settings. The VirtualCenter Settings dialog box appears.

   

3. On the Performance tab, modify intervals and sampling values as needed.

   Under Current Performance Intervals, you can remove an existing interval. Select the interval in the list and click Remove.

   To add a new interval:

   1. In the Name field, enter name of the interval. This name appears in the Range list on the Performance tab.
   2. In the Minutes per sample field, enter the length of time in minutes between each sample taken.
   3. In the Number of samples field, enter the maximum number of samples that are displayed on the Performance tab. As new samples are collected, old samples beyond the maximum number are purged.
   4. Click Add. The new interval appears in the list under Current Performance Intervals.
4. Click OK. The charts on the Performance tab reflect the adjusted values.
