2.2 Overview of user-defined record collection
PFM - Agent for Platform can collect performance data not provided by default and store it in a record. This record for storing performance data is called a user-defined record. For details about how to collect user-defined records, see 7. User-Defined Record Collection.
The following table shows the information for which user-defined records can be set and the records corresponding to type of information.

Like other records, user-defined records specified on each host can be used for displaying reports in PFM - Web Console and issuing alarms based on monitoring.
When multiple pieces of performance data are collected into each record, a new line is added for each field in the user-defined record as each piece of performance data is collected. As a result, each user-defined record becomes a multi-line record. A multi-line record is a multi-instance record.
