      Data Collectors

      Data collection is provided by programs in [PROTOPDIR]/dc. The collection of data by the pt3agents is configured via the ptInitDC variable in [PROTOPDIR]/etc/pt3agent.[*].cfg.

      If you want the pt3agent to collect table statistics, add the Data Collector (DC) “TableActivity” to the ptInitDC variable in your pt3agent configuration file and restart the pt3agent by removing tmp/pt3agent.[*].flg file. The dbmonitor will restart the agent shortly.

      The currently available data collectors are listed below. BOLD DCs are included by default in ptInitDC found in [PROTOPDIR]/etc/pt3agent.cfg. Click the Data Collector Name to see the details for that data collector.
