Defining Data Collection Options

The Foglight for DB2 agent always collects and stores data, even when the browser window that displays the data is not active. Use the Collections page to specify:

•
Which collections are sampled and stored.
•
The data collection values when sampling is carried out in offline, online, and real-time frequency modes.
•
The collection frequency.

When a user is focusing on a page, the sampling frequency for all the collections associated with this page automatically switches to Real-Time. The collection frequency setting determines the sampling frequencies of the other collections (collections that are not running in Real-Time mode).

The available collection frequencies can be selected from the The selected agent's current collection frequency is (frequency) field located in the middle of the panel.

To change the selected agent's current collection frequency:
1
Click agent’s current frequency status.
The frequency settings dialog displays.
2
Select the required frequency.
The following settings are provided:
•
Low — all collections are running in Offline mode, regardless of whether a Client is connected
•
Normal — the collections running mode (Online/Offline/Real-time) adjusts dynamically to the Client's connection status (disconnected/connected/focusing on a page).
•
High — all collections are running in Online mode, regardless of whether a Client is connected.
3
Select the required setting.
4
Click Set.

The Query timeout for on-demand collections setting defines the number of seconds that a query for on-demand collections runs before it times out.

On-demand collections are collections who retrieve data not by predefined time intervals but upon entering a page or clicking a button. The default setting of this parameter is 60 seconds. It can be modified by clicking the number that indicates the parameter’s value in the field Query timeout for on-demand collections.

* 
IMPORTANT: In the Normal collection frequency, when the browser window that displays Foglight for DB2 is active, the collection frequency mode in the active page (for example: the Current Sessions panel in the Activity drilldown) switches to the fastest frequency possible, once every 20 seconds.

The Collections table contains the following columns:

 
Table 1. Collections table

Collection Enabled

Defines whether the selected collections are sampled and stored.

Collection Name

The name of the collection. This list is sorted in alphabetical order.

Online Frequency (Sec)

Allows defining the collection interval, in seconds, in online mode (for example: 60).

Real-time Frequency (Sec)
