Applying the Reporting Monitor to a System

Providing Advanced Reporting Suite is installed and the selected system configured within, applying the Reporting Monitor to a system in Central Configuration Manager allows the collection of Performance Data.

To apply Performance Monitoring to a system
  1. From within the Central Configuration Manager, in the left-hand navigation panel, expand the view of the system to which you want to apply the performance reporting.
  2. Expand Report Monitors and select Reporting.
  3. In the Reporting Panel, Settings section, click Capture Reporting Data.
NOTE: Even though the report monitor has been applied to the system, this system must still be added in the Web Interface of the Advanced Reporting Suite in order that the performance data is collected. Please refer to the Advanced Reporting Suite Installation Guide for more information on how to do this.
  1. Click Save to apply the reporting settings to this system.
NOTE: Performance Reporting is automatically applied across all disks installed on the system. You do not need to specify each disk separately.

Purging Performance Data

To prevent historic performance data from taking up excessive storage space, define a period of time after which this data is deleted from the system. This means that after this time period, the data is unavailable for collection by the Halcyon Data Collector Service within the Advanced Reporting Suite. Data can be purged after a defined period of Hours or Days.

Setting the Purge Time Period
  1. From within the Central Configuration Manager, in the left-hand navigation panel, expand the view of the system to which you want to apply the performance reporting.
  2. Expand Report Monitors and select Reporting.
  3. In the Reporting Panel in the Settings section, set the Purge Captured Data After option to the number of hours or days that you wish to retain the information.
  4. Select whether the time period is in Hours or Days.
  5. Click Save to apply the purge settings to this system.
