Enable/Disable data collectors
You can enable and disable a Data Collector through the Portal. When you disable a collector, it stops the service/process running on the data collector server and stops all collection. When collectors are disabled, you can still edit schedules and parameters. To start collection after a Data Collector has been disabled, you must enable the Collector in the Portal, and start the Data Collection service/process on the Data Collector server.
Note:
When you disable the Data Collector, all policies associated with it are suspended. When you enable the Data Collector, the policies resume their initial status.
To enable/disable a data collector
- Search for a data collector by name.
Alternatively, you can browse for a collector. Select Admin > Data Collection > Collector Administration. A list of Data Collectors is displayed.
- Select the Data Collector.
- Click Disable or Enable. When you disable a Data Collector all policies within the folder are also deactivated. You can also keep a collector enabled and disable individual policies.
