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 remove a historical collection definition
and thereby no longer collect data for the attribute group on the
assigned managed systems. Be aware that if there are multiple collection
definitions for the same attribute group, you must delete all of them
before data collection will be discontinued for the attribute group.
Procedure
- Click
History Configuration to
open the History Collection Configuration window.
- Click the
monitored application (agent type).
- In the expanded branch, select the historical collection
that you want to unconfigure. You can use Ctrl + click
to select multiple collections or Shift + click to select all between
the one previously selected and this one.
- Click
Delete collection.
- Confirm the deletion of the historical collection definition
to permanently remove it.
Results
Data collection stops for the historical collection definition
on all managed systems it was distributed to. The historical data
collected up to this point continues to remain in the short-term history
files and data warehouse.
