The data collection does not involve any memory-heavy operations like running a java VM - only the basic shell commands are involved.
The process is started with low priority. Therefore, any production activity on the servers gets CPU time first and is not impacted.
However, on an idle system the data collection process may cause significant CPU overheads during the first seconds after its start, which is not a big deal since the system is idle.
We can typically use the available data from the existing tools and spreadsheets. However, the data modeling and collection quality of the existing tools is typically not enough to run automated graph-analysis algorithms and produce useful results. Such data requires extensive manual labor and manual analysis to be useful. So we typically have to run our data collection too.
Yes.
