After historical collection definitions have been created,
use the History Collection Configuration window to create duplicates
that you can customize for different collection intervals, warehousing
intervals, and distribution.
Before you begin
Your
user ID must have Configure History permission to open
the History Collection Configuration window. If you do not have this
permission, you will not see the menu item or tool for historical
configuration.
About this task
Take these steps to copy a historical
data collection:
Procedure
- Click History Configuration to open the History
Collection Configuration window.
- Click the managed
application, then the collection that you want to copy.
- Click Create
another collection.
- Enter a new
name for the collection and, optionally, a
description. The Monitored Application and Attribute
Group fields are disabled.
- Click OK to open the configuration
tabs for the collection, make any changes to the intervals, and assign
the managed systems to distribute the collection to.
What to do next
Other than the
Collection Location,
which uses what was specified for the original collection definition,
configure the data collection just as you would a new collection.
You can change the collection and warehouse intervals, and you must
specify the distribution.
