Data collection

Utilization data collection is at the heart of Capacity Advisor.

With 7.0 release, collection of resource usage data is managed by a service, rather than by a
scheduled task in the CMS. The service gathers data provided by the Utilization Provider and
native data collectors and normalizes it into 5–minute data points. The service starts automatically
on installation and runs constantly unless stopped — providing data for visualization of resource
usage on discovered systems and workloads and for capacity planning. When needed, the service
can be

stopped or restarted on the CMS
