Managing Collectors for File System Viewer
IMPORTANT: All collectors are stopped during Get Details and Discovery Data Collection. This
means that during Get Details and Discovery Data Collection data, such as for File System Viewer,
is not updated.
NOTE: It is not possible to run data collectors on quarantined elements. Attempting to run data
collectors on quarantined elements will result in exceptions in the appiq.log file.
The management server uses File System Viewer data collectors to obtain information from a file
server. File System Viewer provides information about a file server, such as the number of its
directories. While File System Viewer data collectors are obtaining information from a file server, a
second File System Viewer data collection cannot begin.
To manage collectors for File System Viewer:
1. Click Reports > Storage Essentials > Data Collection > File System Viewer Data in HP
Systems Insight Manager.
2. Verify the Data Collection tab is displayed.
