Chapter 2 Getting Started With IPM
Configuring the IPM Components
Figure 2-5 Collector Configuration Window
Step 3
In the Name field, type a name to assign to the collector. In the Description field, you can enter a brief
description of the collector.
Though the Name field in the Collector Settings dialog box allows you to enter more than 15 characters,
the trap PDUs displays only the first 15 characters. The IPM database, however, will contain the
complete collector name you have entered.
Step 4 In the Collector Type field:
• Select Statistical to gather data and store it in the IPM database for future analysis. This is the
default setting.
• Select Monitored to monitor for threshold violations and view data in real-time, but network
performance data is not stored in the IPM database.
Step 5 Do one of the following tasks to define the schedule for the collector:
• To configure and start the collector at a later time, enable the On Demand option and go to Step 10.
• To specify when the collector starts, click Set Date. The Set Date Range window is displayed
(Figure 2-6). By default, the collector schedule is set to start now and run forever.
