    Before you begin

    Role required: admin

    About this task

    If the OT Devices Daily Data Collection job hasn't run yet, that means that no data is available for the OT Devices tab and the Last updated timestamp is hidden. If you have the admin role, you see the following warning message that prompts you to run the OT Devices Daily Data Collection job:No data is shown error message on the OT Devices tab that prompts you to run the OT Devices Daily Data Collection Job.

    Note:
    If you don't have an admin role, you see a warning message that prompts you to reach out to the administrator for help.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Data Collector > Performance Analytics > Jobs.
      If you're in the OT Devices tab, you can navigate to the Scheduled Data Collection table by selecting Run job now in the error message.
    2. Apply a filter by selecting the Show/hide filter (Show/hide filter icon in the table header.) icon and add a filter of [Name] [is] [OT Devices Daily Data Collection].
    3. Start collecting the data by selecting the check box next to the Active field in the Job parameters section and then schedule a time in the Time field.
      You can collect the data manually by using the Execute Now button. Otherwise, no data is shown when you view the OT Devices tab. Only use the Execute Now button when you first run the job. The data that is collected after this point should be collected at a scheduled time.
    4. Check if the default schedule collection time works for you.
      The default time is 00:00:00 daily. If you want to change the default collection time, you can change it after activating the job. Make sure that you notify your users about this change.

    Result

    The OT Devices tab is now showing the correct data for the collected OT devices for your users.

    What to do next

    Now, you can review the indicator sources and determine if you need to override the default records collection. For more information, see Review the indicator sources for a large number of records.
