Configuring hosts (XenServers) for performance data collection

To start collecting performance data for hosts (XenServers) that are part of a resource pool, you need to configure performance data collection accounts for those hosts. You can configure performance data collection account for multiple hosts (XenServers) simultaneously. You can either provide a comma-separated list of hosts or specify a regular expression. All the hosts that satisfy the regular expression are configured for performance data collection. You can also modify the regular expression later to configure performance data collection account for a different set of hosts or to modify the specified credentials. After you configure a performance data collection account, you can modify the account details.
