Collection Rules

適用於: System Center Operations Manager 2007

Collection Rules are used to collect data into the Operations Manager database and data warehouse for analysis in views and into the Data Warehouse for use in reports. Even though a particular data source might be used for a monitor or alerting rule, a collection rule is still required if its information is to be available for this analysis. For example, a monitor may sample a performance counter on a regular interval and compare the value to a threshold in order to set its state. It will not store this information however, so a collection rule is also required using the same performance counter if the data is required to be views.
