User wishes to increase or decrease the quota for a specified metrics.

They will see the following warning message in dsa.txt when it exceed the quota
12/06/2016 10:24:03 pm, dsa , 0x0000003d , WARN , Metric governor: Metrics blocked for exceeding quota of 5000 for filter "*". 669 metrics blocked under this rule since startup (see dsa_metrics.txt in this directory for a list).

They will see the following warning message in dsa.txt if they have reduced the metrics but AppInternal DSA is still collecting them

Solution
  1. Stop the Riverbed SteelCentral AppInternals Agent aka DSA service & affected Agent (e.g OS agent)
  2. Delete the  <installed directory>\Panorama\hedzup\mn\log\DSA_metrics.txt
  3. *OPTIONAL* If you wish to block existing allowed metrics, please run the following script, however, doing this will remove all of your data in the Agent for that DA
    Windows : <installed directory>\Panorama\hedzup\mn\support\RemoveDa.bat <Data Adapter> <Instance-name>
    Linux : <installed directory>/RIVERBED/Panorama/hedzup/mn/support/removeda.sh <Data Adapter> <Instance-name>
    Example : RemoveDa.bat DA-OS Windows 
  4. Edit <installed directory>\Panorama\hedzup\mn\data\DSA_governor.xml & adjust the specified metric quota
    Example <quota metric="*\DA-OS\*\\Memory\\*" max="200" />
  5. Start the Riverbed SteelCentral AppInternals Agent aka DSA service & affected Agent (e.g OS agent)
