Title

The McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange (TIE) Server Management Performance metrics frequency must be 30 minutes or less. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

The McAfee TIE metrics collected include resource usage and capacity, which measures CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage when using the TIE solution over a few hours, latency impact and scalability, which measures the throughput capacity differences when adding new secondary server instances, and caching benefits on required bandwidth and throughput and increased service throughput when implementing cached reputation stores. An organization will determine the best frequency to ensure continued performance metric monitoring for the size of their network but must not be configured for more than 30 minutes.
