You can tune data collection by reducing the data collected, reducing the frequency of data collection, reducing the frequency of sample block creation, and reducing PingDataMetrics server impact on performance.
Collecting all of the performance data at the most granular level from all of the servers might not be possible without a significant investment in hardware for the PingDataMetrics server. Instead, tune data collection to fit within the limits of the existing PingDataMetrics server hardware.
The remainder of this section describes several strategies for tuning data collection.
