Note
Collector will not change the sensor’s clock unless the difference is greater than five
seconds.
˽ Enable Auto Time Synchronization – Causes Collector to frequently check for devices
with clocks that are more than five minutes off.
Note
Continually running jobs to synchronize the sensor clock can have unintended
consequences. Some sensors will not create a data interval unless it can create a
complete interval. For example, if a sensor is set to five-minute bins, and it’s in the
middle of a five-minute period when the clock changes, then it will not complete
that bin and can cause data holes to occur. To help minimize this, it is recommended
to not run time sync jobs too frequently and to use a time server to keep the Collec-
tor server’s clock aligned.
Data Settings
The Data Settings box contains settings for data collection and aggregation within Collec-
tor (see Figure 7.11). You can configure Collector to store and/or display data in English
or metric units. Selecting Sensor Units from the Store Data In drop-down list will store
incoming data in whatever units the sensor reports in.

The four aggregation radio buttons allow system administrators to disable aggregation or
toggle automatic data aggregation in 5-, 15-, or 60-minute intervals. Collector will retrieve
