The are as follows:

• Data collection rate in seconds

  This is the rate at which the data is collected. It is the time interval between data samples. The default is every 5 seconds. You may prefer the data to be collected every hour (3,600 seconds). This setting establishes the point when the data is graphed. If you plan to run the statistics for several days, it is easier to read the graph with a longer data collection rate.

• File size per object monitored

  Storage Foundation for Windows collects the data in a file. You set the desired size of the file. Once the file reaches the specified size, the older statistics information is deleted as new information is added. This feature lets you continuously monitor the statistics without taking up increasing file space.

• Disk Usage Information section

  The numbers at the bottom of this window are an estimate of how long (in days and hours) it would take to compile statistics per storage object monitored to fill up the file size indicated. If you change either the data collection rate or the file size per object monitored, click the Check button to update the estimate.
