Activating an Inactive Application Class

This task describes how to turn on the data collection mechanism for an application class. It is necessary because some application classes are installed in an inactive state. To collect data for those application classes, you must activate the application class and its corresponding collector parameters.

Before you begin

You must activate the collector parameter and its parent application class. For information about how to activate a collector parameter, see Activating-an-Inactive-Collector-Parameter.

To Start Collecting Data for an Application Class

  1. Access the application class properties as described in Accessing KM Commands and InfoBoxes.
  2. Check the Active check box.
  3. Click OK. BMC PATROL closes the dialog box, runs discovery for this application, and creates the associated collector, consumer, and standard parameters.
