NOTE:
The lower the sampling rate value, the finer the resolution of the data samples, and
the more accurate the internal data analysis will be. However, setting the sampling rate too
low makes the resulting data collection files larger. The higher the sampling rate value, the
coarser the resolution of data samples, and the less accurate the internal data analysis will
be. However, setting the sampling rate higher will make the resulting data collection files
smaller.
Control buttons in the Data Collection Settings section include the following:
•
START (
)
⇒ Starts Data Collection on the selected date and time in the START ON field.
•
STOP (
)
⇒ Stops Data Collection on the selected date and time in the STOP ON field.
When these buttons are disabled, they display as grayed-out.
When Data Collection starts, HP ESO automatically invokes the Windows Performance Monitor
tool to collect data from different counters.

Software Discovery
HP ESO's Software Discovery feature checks to see if the latest HP software, drivers, and firmware
installed in the system.
Software Discovery Reference Catalog Locations specify where to find the information about the
latest available HP software, driver, and firmware updates. Possible choices are:
•
Web
⇒ HP ESO connects to an HP File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site to get the latest catalog.
•
Local
⇒ Lets you specify a system location for the HP catalog. When selected, software
discovery uses the local catalog file specified.
When Local is selected, specifying a shared network drive causes the software discovery to fail
by default. To work around this issue, either:
•
Copy the catalog file to a non-networked drive (for example, C:).
•
If using a network drive is unavoidable, use SysinternalsSuite by Mark Russianovich
. PSEXEC is the only tool
needed. Perform the following steps:
1.
Open up a new command window and run: psexec -s cmd.exe
2.
Run the net use command or any other script to create the network drive.
