Hands-On Exercise: Scheduling a Data Collector Set to Run Daily
If you want to gather performance metrics regularly without manually initiating the data
collection to occur, you can schedule a data collector set to run at a specific date and time.
In this exercise, we schedule the Baseline Performance Metric data collector set we created
in the previous exercise to run from Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
1. Open Reliability and Performance Monitor.
2. Expand Data Collector Sets, and then User Defined.
3. Right-click Baseline Performance Metric and select Properties.
4. Click the Schedule tab.
5. Click the Add button.
6. Set the Start Launch Time to 9:00:00 am and uncheck Saturday and Sunday;
then click OK (Figure 7-26).
7. Click the Stop Condition tab.
8. Check the Overall Duration checkbox and enter 9 Hours for the duration
(9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. is 9 hours). Then click OK (Figure 7-27).
