Data collection
Utilization data collection is at the heart of Capacity Advisor.
Collection of resource usage data is managed by a service, rather than by a scheduled task in the
CMS. The service gathers data provided by the Utilization Provider and native data collectors and
normalizes it into five-minute data points. The service starts automatically on installation and runs
constantly unless stopped — providing data for visualization of resource usage on discovered
systems and workloads and for capacity planning. When needed, the service can be
stopped or
restarted on the CMS .
Data collection infrastructure
In the data collection infrastructure, each component plays a role, as shown in Figure 1 (page 17) .
It all begins with data collection.
