Step 15 Click Close to close the Configuration window and return to the

IPM Main Window.

The newly defined collector has been added to the list of collectors in the

IPM Main Window.

If you must add a large number of collectors to IPM, you can use the Collector Configuration window to add them one-by-one, but it is more efficient to use a seed file.

For information about using a seed file to add collectors to IPM, see Adding Components Using Seed Files. For information about viewing or deleting collectors, see Working With Collectors.

Viewing Network Performance Statistics

As your collectors begin to gather network performance statistics and store the information in the IPM database, you can view the resulting data.

IPM provides two methods for reviewing network performance statistics:

•Viewing Network Performance Statistics in Real Time, page 2-18

•Viewing Historical Network Performance Statistics, page 2-20
