Data collection ensures that broker-related performance statistics can be trended to the OpenEdge Management Trend Database. Options and conditions available on the AppServer Control page and the AppServer broker resource monitoring plan must be fulfilled to successfully implement data collection.
On the AppServer Control page, these conditions include:
Selecting the Collect Statistics option.
Starting, or stopping and restarting the AppServer broker; you must explicitly perform this step on the AppServer Control page to effect this change.
Verifying that the value True appears in the Broker statistics available field. (OpenEdge Management automatically updates this field when it detects that the Collect Statistics option was enabled after you started, or stopped and restarted, the AppServer broker.)
On the AppServer broker resource monitoring plan, you must also select the Trend Performance Data option.
Note: You are not required to use trending with the data collection activity. However, without the Trend Performance Data option selected, you cannot trend data. Data trended to the OpenEdge Management Trend Database is required for AppServer-related rule evaluation, graphical displays, and report generation.
Using data collection might cause the AppServer broker to exhibit some level of performance degradation, memory degradation, or both.
Selecting the Collect Statistics option.
