From this page, any user can view the details of the collection, view information about the devices on
which data is being collected, view the xml file that defines the collections, and export the current
results of the collection.
An Ridgeline Administrator can start or stop polling for any or all of the collections, and can reload the
collections.xml file.
Loading, Starting and Stopping a Collection
If a file named collections.xml exists in the Ridgeline server’s user/collections directory when the
Ridgeline server is started, the collection definitions in the file are loaded automatically. Polling for the
collections will be started if the initialState property specifies that the collection should be running.
If the Ridgeline server is already running when the
collections.xml file is placed in the collections
directory, then you must click the Reload button to load the collection definitions.
Once you have loaded the
collections.xml file, the collections defined in that file will continue to be
maintained, either running or stopped, until they are replaced by reloading the
collections.xml file
which has been modified to specify a different set of collections, or until the
collections.xml file is
removed from the collections directory.
You can stop the polling process for a running collection by placing a check in the checkbox in the first
column next to the collection name, and clicking Stop. To start a stopped collection, check the box in
the first column and click Start. You can select all the collections in the table by checking the box in the
column heading.
The MIB Collection Detail Report
To view the details of a collection, click the collection name, which links to the MIB Collection Detail
report for the collection. Figure 169 is an example of a Collection Detail Report.
