Create Your Own Collection Definitions

To collect a subset of data tailored to your own requirements, create a collection definition with the ADVISE COLLECT ADD command. The following command creates a collection definition called SYS_SUMMARY:

$ ADVISE COLLECT ADD SYS_SUMMARY-
_$ /INTERVAL = 3600-
_$ /CLASS = SYSTEM_METRICS-
_$ /PATH = PSDC$SUMMARY_DB

The preceding command defines a collection definition for recording system metrics data only on an hourly basis. The data files will be placed in the directory specified by PSDC$SUMMARY_DB. These data files may be an alternative to archiving data if a subset of system metric data is sufficient.

Notice that in the preceding example command, nodes are not specified. To collect data you must specify nodes when creating a collection definition.
