Stopping Performance Collectors
When you stop a collector, the management server stops gathering information for which the
collector is responsible. For example, if a performance collector is not running, its corresponding
statistics are no longer receiving information to display. One of the following occurs:
• If there was originally no information gathered for the statistic, no data appears for that statistic.
• If information was previously gathered for the statistic, old data appears for that statistic.
To stop a collector:
1. Access the page for performance collectors (Optimize > Storage Essentials > Performance
Data Collection).
2. Click the Stop button corresponding to the collector you want to stop.
The collector stops gathering information for its corresponding reports.
To stop more than one collector at once, select more than one collector and then click the Stop
Collectors button.
