ESX Performance Metrics Collection Status (CollectionStatus)

Displays the collection status of distributed or failover data collection for an ESX server.
Status values include:

0 - Online - indicates that the data is being collected from the ESX server
1 - Offline - indicates that an error occurred while collecting data from the ESX server
2 - Fault - indicates that a runtime fault occurred while collecting data from the ESX server
3 - Unsupported - indicates that the ESX server is not supported

Note

The ESX Performance Metrics Collection Status attribute in BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management is referred as CollectionStatus parameter in BMC PATROL.
This parameter is active only when the ESX server is configured for failover or distributed data collection.
When this parameter is in the alarm state, an annotation point is created that provides additional information.
