Using Group Policies to Set Data Collection
The Group Policies feature is a powerful new automation tool that can save you a lot of time conguring devices
and HP Web Jetadmin settings. Any device group has a property known as a Group Policies. One policy that can
be added to any device group’s properties is Enable Data Collection. When activating the Enable Data Collection
to a device group, you must dene a data collection template from the list of existing templates. Also, a trigger is
specied that enables the conguration to take place either as the device is populated into the group or as the
device is de-populated from the group. Multiple Enable Data Collection settings can exist on a single device
group. See Group Policies on page 123.
Add Devices to Data Collection
Use the following steps to add devices to a data collection:
NOTE: If you access this feature through the Data Collection - Management Task Module on page 219, then you
will skip the rst page of the Add Devices to Data Collection Wizard.
1. Expand the Reports tree in the left navigation pane and then click Data Collection.
In the Data Collection - Common Tasks task module, select Add devices to data collection. The Add Devices
to Data Collection wizard is started with the Select data collection page displayed.
2. Select the template to use, if any and then select the type of data collection(s) to perform.
3. Select the time zone and the time to start data collection. The click Next; the Select devices page is
displayed.
NOTE: For more information about Data Collection oset hours, see Data Collection Custom Collection
Time on page 225.
4. Select the device by highlighting it and clicking the arrow buttons between the two lists. To select multiple
devices, use either Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click. To move all devices from one list to the other, use the double
arrow buttons. You can sort the list of available devices by clicking the column headers, or view more
columns by right-clicking the column headers.
To select an entire group instead of individual devices, change the selection method to Groups. Tasks can
be performed on a single group or a group and all of its su/jointfilesconvert/547638/bgroups.
NOTE: If su/jointfilesconvert/547638/bgroups are included, the task might take longer to complete and network trac might
increase signicantly. HP recommends that you include su/jointfilesconvert/547638/bgroups only when necessary.
If a task is scheduled for a group, the task uses the devices that are in the group when the task starts. If the
devices that are in the group are changed, you do not have to delete the scheduled task and create a new
scheduled task.
