If you have multiple CommServe computers in your environment, and you want to use Metrics Reporting, then you must activate data collection for Metrics reports on each CommServe computer.
Private Metrics Reporting offers a way for you to host reports in your own network. The Private Metrics Reporting Server must collect data from each CommServe computer in your environment.

From the navigation pane, go to Manage > System.

Result
- The first time you activate Metrics Reporting, data is collected within the next hour, and then uploaded to the Private Metrics Reporting Server or the Web Console, depending on your configuration. After Metrics Reporting is activated, data collection runs at the same time every 24 hours. Then the upload is compiled and sent to the Private Metrics Reporting Server or the Web Console, depending on the schedule that is configured in the upload frequency setting. In addition to the daily upload, the following queries upload every hour. Query 72: Daily storage usage and chargeback. Query 137: Data protection job details. Query 208: Admin job details.
