Controlling Data Collection with the CPU Monitor Tool

With the CPU Monitor tool, you can stop collecting data from a target device at any time. You can start collecting data again at a time of your choosing. When you start collecting data, the tool deletes the data that is currently stored. Before deleting the data, the tool prompts you to save the collected data to an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file. For more information about saving stored data, see Storing Data Collected by the CPU Monitor Tool.
