and performance data collection as configured in Configuring collection
schedules.
After entering the necessary information, click Save to add the endpoint to the
data source list.
After you entered all your data sources, click Next to continue.
Configuring collection schedules
The Collection Schedules screen should be predefined with a pair of default
schedules for each data source you have defined. One collection schedule for
configuration data and one collection for sample (performance) data per data
source is defined in the collection schedule.
Select the Configuration and Performance collection schedules, and then click
Enable to start the data collection. Hold the Shift, Ctrl, or Command keys to select
multiple schedules and enable them all at once.
To modify the default schedules for timings and interval of execution preferences,
select a schedule, and then click Change Schedule.
