Managing Collectors for Reports
The management server uses statistics collectors to gather information for reports. To view a report
you must have its corresponding collector running.
IMPORTANT: All collectors are stopped during Get Details/Discovery Data Collection. This means
that during Get Details/Discovery Data Collection data, such as for reports is not updated.
To view collectors for reports, click Reports > Storage Essentials > Report Configuration in HP
Systems Insight Manager. Then, click the Data Collection tab.
