DCM is Data Collection Manager, and works at a kernel level. If the DCM stops, BMC will revert back to "Patrol Scripting Language" (PSL) collection.

The number and type of parameters returned by DCM and PSL may be different; and on occasion metrics will be recorded as "0" value when they're using one method instead of another.

DCM is more effcient than PSL and should be used where possible.

Vacansoleil-DCM was created in 2008.
