Apply a Data Collection Template
You can apply a Data Collection template that has already been created to a device or group of devices. You can
also turn data collection on and o; this is useful if you need to control the network trac generated to
communicate with the devices and also because the data is stored in database tables which, over time, can
become quite large. By selecting the data to include, you have great exibility as to what you want to include in
your reports.
Use the following steps to apply a data collection template:
1. Expand the Reports tree in the left navigation pane and then click Data Collection.
In the Data Collection - Common Tasks task module, select Apply data collection template. The Apply Data
Collection Template wizard is started with the Select data collection page displayed.
2. Select a template and click Next. The Select devices page is displayed.
3. Select the device by highlighting it and clicking the arrow buttons between the two lists. To select multiple
devices, use either Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click. To move all devices from one list to the other, use the double
arrow buttons. You can sort the list of available devices by clicking the column headers, or view more
columns by right-clicking the column headers.
To select an entire group instead of individual devices, change the selection method to Groups. Tasks can
be performed on a single group or a group and all of its su/jointfilesconvert/547638/bgroups.
NOTE: If su/jointfilesconvert/547638/bgroups are included, the task might take longer to complete and network trac might
increase signicantly. HP recommends that you include su/jointfilesconvert/547638/bgroups only when necessary.
If a task is scheduled for a group, the task uses the devices that are in the group when the task starts. If the
devices that are in the group are changed, you do not have to delete the scheduled task and create a new
scheduled task.
