For details about the offset value, see the chapter that describes management of operation monitoring data in the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management User's Guide. For details about the start time for performance data collection, see the chapter that describes the functions of Performance Management in the Job Management Partner 1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide. |

The value range is 0-32,767 seconds (within the value range specified for Collection Interval). This is used to distribute the collection processing workload, because data collection is concentrated when multiple data items are collected. The data collection time that is recorded is the same as for the Collection Interval regardless of the value of Collection Offset.
If you change the value of Collection Offset, you should take into account the collection processing workload.
- #2
-
Displayed for the history collection priority function.
