RE: MGTCOL size

I don't believe so, but I'm not certain of that. Pretty sure that
option just makes CS reporting available (via GO PERFORM opt #3) for a
current day's collection.

Personally, I leave the "Create database files..." option enabled. I
also run the MC realtime performance monitors, and have found them to be
a pretty decent offering.

Bingo! That's it.
Now, because of what someone mentioned earlier, do I need the "Create
database files during collection" turned on for the graphing to work in
the Management Central monitors?

CS collections can also be tailored via iNav.

Go to Configuration and Service, then right click on Collection Services
and select Properties. The 'Data to Collect' tab is where you can
either select from 4 predefined levels of collection, or go the Custom
route and choose the metrics in which you're most interested.

We also do the standard 15-minute collection interval, with 24-hour
cycle and 7-day retention. Eats a fair amount of disk space, but having
the data readily at hand comes in very handy if performance ever takes a
sudden turn for the worse.

Rob,

The way I know how to do this is (gasp) green screen.
Go Perform
2 - Collect performance data
2 - Configure performance collection

Ours is set to collect data every 15 minutes, cycle the collection every

24 hours, and save the data for 7 days.

MGTCOL size






Management Central is collecting performance data into QMPGDATA as
*MGTCOL

objects. Are there settings to control the size? Like, not collect
this
or that, or, performance interval?
