Configuring and managing data collection

In SHR, data collection involves collecting domain-specific data from the various product center repositories such as HP Operations Manager i (OMi), HP Business Service Management Profile database, HP Performance Agent, and HP Operation agent. The collected data is stored in the SHR database, which is then used for long-term, cross-domain performance analysis and reporting.

Data collection

SHR provides an open and flexible data collection framework that can be used to collect data from heterogeneous data sources. SHR uses various data collectors to collect the required data:

These data collectors work internally within the SHR infrastructure to collect the data. Therefore, you cannot directly interface with these collectors. Instead, you can specify the data sources from where the collectors can collect the data through the Administration Console.

The Administration Console supports the configuration of four type of data source connections:

The deployed Content Packs determine the fact data that are to be collected from the various data sources, and the interval at which the data is collected. Configuration of the data source connections for the installed Content Packs depends on the type of deployment scenario used. For more information about the data collection process and what Content Packs are supported for each deployment scenario, see the HP Service Health Reporter Concepts Guide.
