Ok so for version 6.5 of the tool, in the getting started guide I can read:
- When you collect performance data in MAP, you want to collect performance data for the same period of time for all machines
If I read this correctly, I have to run performance data gathering for all machine at the same time for the same amount of time. So let's say that I'm planning for 7 days of data to get a significant sample, all my 300+ machines in prod will be queried at the same time.. that sounds a bit risky.
Or do we need to interpret the time constraint as a common lenght of time. (i.e. I can gather perf data for say 50 machine a week for 6 week and they'll each have a week's worth of data.)
The way I see it the only thing thing that matters is the lenght of the time serie and it needs to be without gaps.
Am I understanding this correctly?
Thanks
