History options: What to collect

The History Options window contains an Options bar on the left, and a page of options on the right whose contents depend on the category currently chosen in the Options bar.

Use the What to collect page to choose how much data to capture in each snapshot. It contains the following controls:

Description

Include history in each snapshot
 

Within Spotlight, Record and Playback and History are two independent features:

  • Record and Playback takes data snapshots of a Spotlight connection at pre-determined intervals.

  • History records the continuous history of specified metrics over a specified duration.

Select the check box to add continuous History data to your Record and Playback historical snapshots, and then use the associated drop-down list of times to choose how much history data to include in each snapshot. (Possible values range from 5 minutes to all available data.)

When you do so, every recorded snapshot will contain historical details of the Spotlight connection for the specified period immediately before the snapshot was taken. You will be able to view that history during Playback.
 

Collect extra information if required

How much information do you want in your recorded snapshots? A number of factors may influence this decision, including the frequency of snapshots and the amount of space available to contain them.

Use the Collect extra information... controls to choose how much data to collect.

  • Choose Collect only basic information to record only the information that Spotlight normally collects.

  • Choose Collect details relating to current alarms to record basic information PLUS all drilldown information that is relevant to alarms that are current at the time that snapshots are taken.

  • Choose Collect all possible information to include all available information in each snapshot. This setting is not usually recommended, as it may result in the collection of a very large amount of data.

Note: When you change one or more options in the History Options window, click OK to save your changes.
