Overview
Now that we have a data collector set configured, let’s look at how to start and stop the collection of data.
Explanation
To start the data collector set, right-click on the data collector set name and select “Start.”
Once started, you can confirm that the data collector set is running by noting the play button beside the name in the left window, as shown by the red arrow in the screenshot below.
Stopping the data collector set follows the same steps as when we started it, with the only difference being that we select “Stop.”
