Performance data-collection tasks Creating a performance data-collection task Performance thresholds

The MDM Performance Manager connects to storage devices to gather performance data. You use the Performance Manager interface panels to define the performance data-collection tasks. A defined task collects performance data from storage devices that Multiple Device Manager supports.

You can perform the following performance data-collection tasks using the Create performance data collection task panel:

Create performance data-collection task
You can create a performance data collection task by specifying the information required to create a data collector. This task can only be started on a limited number of devices. If you try to create this task for more than the maximum allowable number of devices, Performance Manager displays an error message, for example:
This task can only be started on n devices. Choose up to n devices.
Save data collector information
When saving the task, specify a task name. Task names must be unique. If the name is not unique, Performance Manager displays an error message, for example:
This task name already exists. Choose a different name.

After you have created a data-collection task, you can delete the task or delete a storage device from the task. You can also use the Add device panel to add devices to an existing performance data-collection task.
