Data Collector Configuration Menu

The Data Collector Configuration Menu displays command options for configuring how your system collects, logs, and displays data. All commands in this menu use the > command prefix and thus are processed in the EXPLORE service machine.

Note: Configuration options set with the Data Collector Configuration Menu are temporary. It is recommended that you select the appropriate commands from this section and enter them in the INITSERV EXPLORE initialization file to make them permanent configuration options.

To access the Data Collector Configuration Menu using the menu panels requires two steps:

1. Select the *CONFIG option from the Main Menu. This will display the EXPLORE Configuration Menu.
2. From the EXPLORE Configuration Menu, select *SRVCFIG.

Or, for Fast-Path Access, you can enter *SRVCFIG from the command line.
