4.2.5 Environment configuration required for collecting performance data
To collect performance data on the network environment required for running PFM - Agent for Platform, all network services, protocols, servers, and products must be installed before the Agent Collector service is started. Note that if the environment for the installed products is not configured, or if additionally installed services are not running, performance data will be collected, but data might not be obtained field values might be displayed as 0.
