HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 74)

Because collections by attribute use a database query, collections that are complex take more
system resources every time they are accessed. Keeping collections simple minimizes
performance impact.

Combination collections
Combination collections enable you to bind together a system collection and an event collection
and to reuse and recombine system and event collections that you have created.
NOTE: There are two kinds of combination collections. If you are creating a system collection,
then the combination collection returns a system list. If you are creating an event collection,
then the combination collection returns an event list. For example, the two collections All
Servers and All Login and Logout Events could be combined in two ways. One way yields all
servers that have login and logout events. The other way yields all login and logout events
that occurred on servers.
