If you created a script to start a Data
Collector Set (as shown in the previous section), you can use the steps
in the following table to schedule it to run regularly.
Tip
When the Data Collector Set is scheduled to run
regularly, you can view the reports at any time via the Reports node.
However, reports are regularly archived and older reports are deleted.
