Updating collected data on selected systems
At times, you might want to collect data on selected systems. In this case, follow the same
procedure as for
“Scheduling a data collection” (page 57) , steps 1–9.
Updating data displayed in a profile viewer
To update the data in a profile viewer:
• You must be in a profile viewer (see “Using the Profile Viewer” (page 65) ).
Procedure 5-7 To update data that a profile viewer is displaying
• Click the Collect Capacity Advisor Data... link.
A busy indicator appears over the grayed out screen. When the busy indicator disappears,
you can see the refreshed data display.
NOTE: If the data collection fails, the output from stdout and stderr of the command
are shown at the top of the screen.
Collecting data without using an agent
Agentless data collection is currently available for systems that run supported versions of
Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems and that are licensed for Capacity Advisor.
These managed systems will be automatically configured for agentless data collection, either
using the Insight managed system setup wizard or the first time capcollect is run for those
systems (whichever comes first).
Listing systems currently in the configuration file
This section describes the procedure for determining the current settings for agentless data
configuration on a CMS, particularly the list of systems from which to collect data using this
method.
Prerequisite
• You must be logged in to HP Systems Insight Manager software with any level of access
permissions.
1. From the Capacity Advisor tab, select Configure
→Agentless Data Collection→List
Selected Systems... .
2. The Task Confirmation screen opens.
3. Click Run Now.
The Task Results screen opens.
When the command completes successfully, the current contents of the configuration file
are listed on the Stdout tab.
If you suspect an error, check the Stderr tab for more information.
Setting advanced options in the agentless data collection file
This section describes the procedure to use when defining advanced options to be included in
the agentless data collection configuration file. (See “Advanced agentless options screens” in
Capacity Advisor online help for reasons why it can be advantageous to alter the default values
using the Advanced Agentless Options screen.)
