Tuning and Debugging EPICenter
An EPICenter Administrator can start or stop polling for any or all of the collections, and can reload the
file.
collections.xml
Loading, Starting and Stopping a Collection
If a file named exists in the EPICenter server's directory when
collections.xml user/collections
the EPICenter server is started, the collection definitions in the file are loaded automatically. Polling for
the collections will be started if the initialState property specifies that the collection should be running.
If the EPICenter server is already running when the file is placed in the collections
collections.xml
directory, then you must click the Reload button to load the collection definitions.
Once you have loaded the file, the collections defined in that file will continue to be
collections.xml
maintained, either running or stopped, until they are replaced by reloading the file
collections.xml
which has been modified to specify a different set of collections, or until the file is
collections.xml
removed from the collections directory.
You can stop the polling process for a running collection by placing a check in the checkbox in the first
column next to the collection name, and clicking Stop. To start a stopped collection, check the box in
the first column and click Start. You can select all the collections in the table by checking the box in the
column heading.
The MIB Collection Detail Report
To view the details of a collection, click the collection name, which links to the MIB Collection Detail
report for the collection. Figure 54 is an example of a Collection Detail Report.
