A.1 Using a Single Collector

In cases where there are few Target Paths defined or in cases where all Target Paths should be collected at the same time, use a single File System Access Collector.

Advantages

  • Minimal configuration required

  • Out-of-the-box configuration of collector templates – no custom SQL editing required

  • All Target Path data collected at one time

Disadvantages

  • Larger data sets with a significant number of Target Paths might take longer to collect

  • All defined Target Paths must be collected at the same time

To set up collection of File System Access data using a single collector, simply define the collector in an application, leaving the SQL query contents with the default values.
