25.1 Starting an ActiveView Data Collection

With the ActiveView Analyzer Utility, you can collect data on ActiveViews from actions performed on them by Assistant Administrators. This data can then be viewed in an Analyzer report. In order to collect the data, you need to specify the assistant administrator to collect data on and then start an ActiveView collection.

NOTE:The Assistant Administrator that you want to collect data on must be connected to the same DRA server that the Analyzer is running on.

To start an ActiveView collection:

  1. Click Start > NetIQ Administration > ActiveView Analyzer Utility.

  2. In the ActiveView Analyzer page, specify the following:

    1. Target DRA Server: The DRA server that collects performance data on the Assistant Admin operations.

    2. Target Assistant Administrator: Click browse and select an Assistant Administrator who you want to collect data on.

    3. Monitoring Duration: Specify the total number of hours required to collect analyzer data. After it exceeds the specified time, data collection will be stopped.

  3. Click Start Collection to collect ActiveView data.

    After starting the ActiveView data collection, the utility clears the existing data and displays the latest status.

  4. (Optional) You can stop the data collection manually before the scheduled duration has ended and still generate a report. Click Stop Collection to cease recording Assistant Admin operations on ActiveViews.

  5. (Optional) To get the latest status, click Collection Status.

IMPORTANT:If you stop the collection and change the Assistant Administrator or restart a data collection for the same Assistant Administrator, the ActiveView Analyzer clears the existing data. You can only have Analyzer data for one Assistant Administrator in the database at a time.
