Which of the following steps are important for configuring Data Collectors? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AEnsuring compatibility with the backend system
• BRegularly backing up collected data
• CLimiting data collection to irrelevant data only
• DRandomly selecting collection intervals

• A
  90% (19)
• C
  5% (1)
• D
  5% (1)

Explanation

Ensuring compatibility with the backend system (A) is critical because a Data Collector must integrate cleanly with the systems it feeds - mismatched formats, protocols, or APIs cause data loss or ingestion failures. Regularly backing up collected data (B) protects against data corruption, accidental deletion, or system failures, which is a standard best practice in any data management setup.

Option C is wrong because limiting collection to irrelevant data defeats the entire purpose - you want to collect meaningful, targeted data. Option D is wrong because collection intervals should be deliberate and consistent, not random; random intervals undermine reliability, scheduling, and downstream processing.

Memory tip: Think "ABCs of Data Collectors" - Alignment with backend + Backups = a healthy pipeline. Anything that introduces randomness (D) or irrelevance (C) is a red flag on exam questions about configuration best practices.
