Managing Performance Collectors
The management server uses performance collectors to gather information for Capacity Manager
and Performance Manager charts, as well as for monitoring.
To manage performance collectors, select Optimize > Storage Essentials > Performance Data
Collection, and click the Data Collection tab.
For each element, the Performance Data Collectors page displays all the collectors that the
management server uses to gather data. You can decide whether data should be collected for each
element by starting or stopping the collector schedule. If a collector is gathering data when you stop
it, that collector will complete the collection. You are stopping all future runs of the collector; not the
currently active process. The Enabled column reflects whether you’ve started your collector schedule
or not.
If you are not sure whether you want to start or stop a collector schedule, click +Statistics to see the
list of performance statistics that the collector is designed to collect. Once the statistics are collected,
you can use Performance Manager to review the data.
The Performance Data Collector page offers a set of filters to help you find your collectors quickly.
The filter area is collapsed by default. To expand the filter area, click the + symbol. The following
filters are supported:
• Element Type – Use this filter to see the collectors for a specific element type or for all elements.
When you select a specific element type, the Collector Type filter is adjusted to show you the
collector types that are meaningful to the selected element type.
• Collector State – Use this filter to see all schedules or only the schedules that have been started
(Enabled) or stopped (Disabled).
• Collector Type – Use this filter to see all the collectors for a specific collector type or all collector
types. This filter works in conjunction with the Element Type filter.
• Element Name Contains – Use this filter to retrieve all the elements whose name contains the
specified string.
