====== Collector profiles ======

  A collector profile is a named configuration template that centralises all collector settings in one place.
  Instead of configuring each collector individually, you define a profile once and apply it to as many collectors as needed.

===== Managing profiles =====

  * Use the **Create** button to define a new profile (name and description required).
  * Use the **Edit** option in the row menu to modify an existing profile.
  * Use the **Assign** option in the row menu to apply a profile to one or several collectors.
  * Use **Delete** to permanently remove a profile. Collectors that were using it will retain their last applied settings.

**Note:** Editing a profile does not automatically update the collectors using it. You must re-assign the profile after saving changes.

===== Profile sections =====

==== Log level ====

^ Setting ^ Description ^
| **Log level** | Verbosity of the collector logs. Set to INFO for normal operations |
| **DEBUG expiration (min)** | Duration before the log level automatically reverts from DEBUG to INFO, to avoid indefinite verbose logging |

==== System availability alerts ====

These settings control the alarms raised when a target SAP system is slow or unreachable.

^ Setting ^ Description ^
| **Max response time (ms)** | Threshold above which a connection problem alarm is raised |
| **Connection problem severity** | Severity of the alarm raised when max response time is exceeded |
| **Max invalid time (s)** | Duration after which a non-responding system triggers an alarm |
| **Not responding severity** | Severity of the alarm raised when max invalid time is exceeded |
| **Max availability timeout (s)** | Availability check timeout |
| **Availability timeout severity** | Severity of the alarm raised on availability timeout |
| **Timezone alarm severity** | Severity of alarms raised when a timezone mismatch is detected on a system |

==== Internal alerts ====

These settings control alarms raised on internal collector errors, independent of target system availability.

^ Setting ^ Description ^
| **Monitor job error severity** | Severity of alarms raised when an internal monitoring job fails |
| **CCMS error severity** | Severity of alarms raised on CCMS collection errors |
| **Monitor tree severity** | Severity of alarms raised on monitoring tree read errors |

==== Licenses ====

^ Setting ^ Description ^
| **Max license expiration time (days)** | Number of days before a license expiry to start raising an alert |

==== Worker settings ====

^ Setting ^ Description ^
| **Threads** | Number of concurrent worker threads. Increase only when monitoring more than 100 systems |
| **Workers memory size (MB)** | Memory allocated to the worker pool. Increase only when monitoring more than 100 systems |
| **Workers timeout (s)** | Maximum execution time per worker task before it is aborted |
| **Skip results compression** | Disables compression of results sent to the Cockpit. Not recommended for large deployments |

==== Retention settings ====

^ Setting ^ Description ^
| **Activate jobs retention** | Enables automatic purge of job history data |
| **Store stats only** | Only retains statistical aggregates, not individual job records |
| **Store aborted jobs only** | Only retains records of aborted jobs |
| **Send jobs stats metrics** | Forwards job statistics as performance metrics |
| **Store jobs with duration (s)** | Minimum execution duration — only jobs exceeding this threshold are stored |
| **Jobs retention (days)** | Number of days to keep job records |
| **Tests retention (days)** | Number of days to keep test execution records |
| **Logs retention (days)** | Number of days to keep collector log files |
| **Reports retention (days)** | Number of days to keep generated reports |
| **Reports retention limit cleanup** | Maximum number of reports retained before triggering cleanup |
| **Max snapshots count** | Maximum number of monitoring snapshots retained |

==== Telnet settings ====

^ Setting ^ Description ^
| **Enable Telnet** | Activates Telnet connectivity support on the collector |
