These options need to be defined:
A Collection Interval from those available.
The Database File Creation option must be turned on. This ensures that the data is stored in database tables for journaling.
The System monitoring option must be turned off. This data is not required and will incorrectly inflate the visualizations that use the metrics collected by this option. (This option creates a second set of data for specific metrics which is written to object members starting with an "R" rather than a "Q".)
Choose which Data to Collect from:
A predefined profile
A customized collection profile, choosing from the available categories. You can do this either in the IBM Navigator for i or using Commands.
