user-defined data collector sets. These data collector sets include Active Directory Diagnostics,
LAN Diagnostics, System Diagnostics, and System Performance. Data collector sets can be
scheduled to run at certain times and certain days for a specified period of time. To specify how
long a data collector set runs, you set a stop condition (see Figure 13-15).

Reports
The Reports folder contains reports generated from data collector sets. The User
Defined subfolder contains reports generated by user-defined data collector sets, and the System sub-
folder contains folders for each system data collector set (the four listed in the preceding section).
After a data collector set runs, the report is generated automatically and placed in a folder with the
name of the data collector set. The report name reflects the date and instance the report was run.
