DEFINITY Performance Management User Guide, Release 2.0, 585-229-808 6Specify Collection ParametersIntroduction Issue 1 November 1998 Page 100 Introduction One of the features of Performance Management is the ability to track the performance of a managed node through reports you can generate for various aspects of the system. In order to run reports that help track the system, you must first specify the data to collect for those reports. This chapter describes how to collect report data in the following ways: • Specify default collection parameters that are used across all managed nodes • Specify customized collection parameters for a specific managed node • Specify when data should be collected • Specify what types of data to collect • Specify how long collected data should be stored Saving Changes You can save all of the collection parameters for all of the tabs one time making the changes to each tab, then click Save when you have finished with all of the tab settings.
