Use the sp_syscollector_set_cache_window stored procedure to change this value. |
| CollectorEnabled | Indicates the state of the data collector. 0 = disabled 1 = enabled Use either the sp_syscollector_enable_collector or sp_syscollector_disable_collector stored procedure to change this value. |
| MDWDatabase | The name of the management data warehouse. Use the sp_syscollector_set_warehouse_database_name stored procedure to change this value. |
