To apply the filter settings, click Filter to refresh the content of the Report Data Collector page. To restore the filters to their default settings, click Reset, and refresh the collector page.

In addition to changing the collector schedule after an element has been discovered, you may wish to decide whether a collector schedule should be started or not for future discovery elements. You can see the default collector schedule settings using the Default Collector Settings link above the Filter area, or select Tools > Storage Essentials > Home, and then select Configuration > Discovery, and click the Collector Settings tab. For more information about the Collector Settings tab, see ”Modifying Collector Settings for Newly Discovered Elements” on page 184.

IMPORTANT: All collectors are stopped during Discovery Data Collection. This means that during Discovery Data Collection, data is not updated. Historical collectors, such as those available from the Configuration tab, are restarted when they are stopped during Discovery Data Collection. Any charts that were active in Performance Manager when Discovery Data Collection was started are not restarted.

NOTE: It is not possible to run data collectors on quarantined elements. Attempting to do so will result in exceptions in the appstorm.<timestamp>.log file.
