Data Collection Results Widget
This Data Collection Results widget lets you run an action and view the results of the actions that are
initiated. The results of the actions are stored in the database.
The Execute Action access right is required to view actions and action statuses, run actions, and delete
actions in the Data Collection Results widget. The data retention policy has been enhanced to automatically
clean up the action tasks history. You can also view a list of recent tasks and view detailed and associated
object information for selected tasks on the Recent Tasks tab of the Support page in the vCenter Operations
Manager Custom user interface. You can also filter tasks and detailed information based on selected criteria
in the Recent Tasks tab. For more information about recent tasks and data retention policy, see the VMware
vCenter Operations Manager for Horizon Supplement.
This widget can be used for the VMware vCenter Operations Manager for Horizon adapter version 1.7 only.
