Data Collectors That Do NOT Need a DB Connection (328)

The list of data collectors that do not require a db connection was previously hard-coded. This update moves that list to the nodbDataCollector property defined in the etc/protop.cfg configuration file.

Not all data collectors collect data about OpenEdge databases. This is important because a pt3agent that starts with no connected database will ONLY allow data collectors from that list to execute. Thus, if you have an agent that is monitoring something such as PASOE (which does not require a db connection) and you wish to add Service Telemetry, you will probably be confused about why Service Telemetry fails to execute.

Default values are:

nodbDataCollector     apsv.p,dbid.p,df.p,netstat.p,osinfo.p,pasoe.p,appmon.p
