How to Control Data Collection Using the Event Scheduler

The CA SYSVIEW data collector components collect, monitor and provide exception processing for many of resources and metrics.

The Event Scheduler controls data collection as follows:

  1. The scheduler provides the ability to schedule events on an interval basis.
  2. The scheduled event definitions can be customized to control the collection interval, time of day, and day of week.
  3. The data collection process is defined as two separate but integrated components:
    Data Collection

    The process of gathering data metrics over a defined time. The data that is collected is stored for future analysis and reporting. CA SYSVIEW primarily uses the following two types of data collection:

    • Interval-based data gathering
    • Event-based data gathering
    Exception Processing

    Exception processing analyzes collected data and provides alerts and notifications based on user-defined criteria. This function is also commonly referred to as threshold processing.
