TrueSight Operations Management - EMC Storage Monitoring periodically performs discoveries to detect new components in your monitored environment and launches a collect process to gather health and performance metrics. In order to optimize the monitoring on large environment, you can customize the discovery and the collect timeouts to specify how long the processes are expected to run.
