Definition
Data Collection is a controlled observability function used to describe a bounded collection, analysis, visualization, automation, or response capability. It is maintained as an Observability Concept so tools can reference a stable vocabulary without treating the concept itself as a product [1].
Catalog use
This page is the canonical navigation target for the Data Collection catalog value. Product profiles may declare support for the concept, but that declaration does not by itself establish implementation depth, quality, or commercial availability.
