Collection Methods

Two collection methods are available to the PATROL Knowledge Module for UNIX. The two methods use separate Collector Parameters. The collectors are

  • DCM Collector – employs the Perform Collector and DCM binary to gather information for application classes and uses collector parameters with –Ctrl suffix to control the poll time and status; DCMColl monitors this collection process
  • PSL Collectors – employs PSL collector parameters with the –Coll suffix, except for the DCMColl, to gather information for application classes

Unavailable Parameters by Collection Method

Neither collection method gathers data for every parameter available in the KM. For a list of parameters that are deactivated for a specific collection method, see
