Table 2‑22. Data Collection Types (Continued)
Data Collection Type Description
Network and security inventory data collection (vSphere
compute resources only)
Updates the record of network and security data related to
vCloud Networking and Security and NSX, particularly
information about security groups and load balancing, for each
machine following inventory data collection.
WMI data collection (Windows compute resources only) Updates the record of the management data for each Windows
machine. A WMI agent must be installed, typically on the
Manager Service host, and enabled to collect data from
Windows machines.
Start Endpoint Data Collection Manually
Endpoint data collection runs automatically every 4 hours, but IaaS administrators can manually start
endpoint data collection at any time for endpoints that do not require proxy agents.
The Data Collection page provides information on the status and age of data collections and allows you
to manually start a new endpoint data collection.
Prerequisites
Log in to vRealize Automation as an IaaS administrator.
Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Endpoints > Endpoints.
2 Point to the endpoint for which you want to run data collection and click Data Collection.
3 Click Start.
4 (Optional) Click Refresh to receive an updated message about the status of the data collection you
initiated.
5 Click Cancel to return to the Endpoints page.
Configure Compute Resource Data Collection
You can enable or disable data collection, configure the frequency of data collection, or manually request
data collection.
The Data Collection page provides information on the status and age of data collections. It also allows
you to configure data collection for your compute resources.
Prerequisites
Log in to vRealize Automation as a fabric administrator.
Procedure
1 Select Infrastructure > Compute Resources > Compute Resources.
2 Point to the compute resource for which to configure data collection and click Data Collection.
