About the Collectors Tab

The management server uses collectors to gather information. The Collectors tab provides

information about the collectors for a particular element.
To start collectors and view reports for an element:

1.

To access the Collectors page, do one of the following:
• Click an element in Application Viewer, and then click the Collectors tab. (For file servers,

click the Scan Schedule tab).

• Double-click an element in Capacity Manager, Performance Manager, or System Manager,

and then click the Collectors tab.

• Click an element in Chargeback Manager, and then click the Collectors tab.
• Click a discovered host in Backup Manager, and then click Collectors in the lower-left corner.

2.

To change a collector's start time, modify the time and date entered in the Next Scheduled Run

box. If you decide to change the start time, make sure the date is in yyyy-mm-dd format and the

time in 24-hour format. There should be a space between the date and the time, as shown:

2005-06-26 09:41

After the collector runs, the value in this column is updated to the next time the collector will run.

3.

To change how often the collector runs, enter the number of minutes in the Interval box.
Important: Do not make the interval too short. Running a collector too frequently uses up

space on the management server and impacts its performance.

4.

To enable the collector, click Start.

5.

To stop a collector, click Stop.

6.

To view a report, click its link. See ”

Viewing Reports

” on page 435 for more information.
