Collection Objects

This appendix defines the different collection objects in the Linux Base Pack PowerPack.

Use the following menu options to navigate the SL1 user interface:

• To view a pop-out list of menu options, click the menu icon ().
• To view a page containing all of the menu options, click the Advanced menu icon ().

This appendix covers the following topics:

Collection Objects in Linux Dynamic Applications

The following tables list the Collection Objects included in those Dynamic Applications and the Linux commands used by each of those objects. You can use these commands to grant or restrict access to certain data types on the user account you will use to monitor your Linux devices.

The following table is a list of configuration and performance Dynamic Applications in the PowerPack:

Dynamic Application	Collection Object	Linux Command
