Collecting Monitor Data
After setting up for initial communication and reviewing the
communication parameters, you can collect the monitor data.
Perform the following steps from the Communications tool to
successfully collect monitor data:
1. Verify the selected location(s) listed in the Active Tasks section.
The monitors listed in this section are the monitor locations that
will be collected. Change them using the New toolbar button, if
necessary.

3. Either choose the Go toolbar button to immediately begin the
data collect for the selected locations, or choose the Schedule
toolbar button to delay the collect activity for a later, more
convenient time.
Warning: If the Profile database resides on a network, it is
essential that your local system is logged onto the network
for the task scheduler to initiate a scheduled collect.
Therefore, do not log off from the network when collects are
scheduled to occur.
Note: Logs indicating the success or failure of all monitor
communication activities are accessible through Log Viewer
and the Diagnostics tool.
Collecting a Specific Portion of Monitor Data
When you only want to collect a limited time span of monitor data,
Profile allows you to specify the beginning and ending dates. Use the
Profile main screen to manually enter the specific starting and ending
dates and times.
