Did you find this summary helpful?
Thank you for your feedback
The Device Configuration tab of the Collection page gives you an overview of the data collection configuration for all elements managed by Legacy orchestrator.
The configuration is presented in a table with a row for each managed element. Highlighted cells provide a quick visual check on which elements are collecting data and which types of data they are collecting.
For a particular element, you can easily check:
- If the Metrics Collection agent is enabled cell says true and cell background is highlighted, otherwise the cell will say false and the background is not highlighted (as shown below).
- If data streaming to Legacy orchestrator is enabled cell says true and cell background
is highlighted, otherwise the cell will say false and the background is not highlighted (as shown below). - If a particular type of Agent data is being collected and streamed (cell displays the
collection period (example: 1 min) and the cell background is highlighted).

Interpreting the Device Configuration for All Elements
Access the Collection ▶ Device Configuration tab.
The list of managed elements is displayed with the current settings used for data collection on each element.
Check for highlighted cells to see which elements are currently enabled for collecting (Agent state column) and streaming data (Streaming state column) and which elements are currently collecting or streaming a certain type of data (columns for different types of Agent data).
If you want to access or change the settings for a particular element, double-click the element in the list. For more information, see "Configuring Collection Agent for Individual Devices"
