Performance Collectors are sets of one or more performance objects, counters and/or instances that are grouped together for collection and aggregation. ELM Enterprise Manager is pre-populated with a variety of Performance Collectors. These can be edited or custom Performance Collectors can be created. Each Performance Collector has three parts: the counters to be collected; the frequency of the collection (e.g., every 30 minutes, every hour, etc.); and the days on which collection occurs.
