Data collection infrastructure overview

The data collection infrastructure collects performance profiling data for distributed applications and sends the data to the workbench computer, where you can view and analyze the collected data. The data collection infrastructure must be installed, configured, and running on all remote computers that will be used in your distributed application. The data collection infrastructure is installed when you install HCL DevOps Test Performance Agent (Test Performance Agent).
