This error indicates that there are no collectors (data collection agents or processes) assigned to a specific purpose or task that is being executed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that the necessary configuration for data collectors has not been set up in the system. This could mean that the data collectors have not been defined or linked to the specific purpose in the system settings.
  
  
  Incorrect Purpose Assignment: The purpose for which data is being collected may not have any collectors assigned to it, either due to oversight or incorrect configuration.
