Working with on-demand Data Collection
Collections can run on a schedule or on-demand using the
button on the action bar. On-demand allows you to select which probes and devices to run. The on-demand run collects data just like a scheduled run plus additional logging information for troubleshooting. A stopped Policy still allows an on-demand collection run, provided the policy is assigned to one of the specified vendors and the collector is online.Note:
On-demand data collection is not available for all policies.
On-Demand data collection serves multiple purposes. You can use it to:
Validate the collection process is working end-to-end when you create a data collector policy
Launch an immediate run of the collection process without waiting for the scheduled run
Populate your database with new/fresh data
Choose to view the collection logs on the portal while performing an on-demand run.
To initiate an on-demand data collection
- Select Admin > Data Collection > Collector Administration. All Data Collectors are displayed.
- Click Expand All to browse for a policy or use Search.
- Select a data collector policy from the list. If the vendor is supported, the Run button is displayed on the action bar.
- Click Run. A dialog allowing you to select servers and individual probes to test the collection run is displayed. The following example shows the Amazon Web Services dialog. See the vendor specific content for details on probes and servers.
- Select the servers and probes for data collection.
- The portal enables the user to log the messages at various level during the collection process. Following are the available options:
Enable Real-Time Logs: This option enables the user to log generally useful information in real-time when the collection is in progress, select Enable Real-Time Logs.
Enable Debug Logs: This option enables the user to log information at a granular level, select Enable Debug Logs
- Click Start. Data is collected just like a scheduled run plus additional logging information for troubleshooting. Once started, you can monitor the status of the run through to completion.
Note:
If there is another data collection run currently in progress when you click Start, the On-Demand run will wait to start until the in-progress run is completed.
