Verify Collector Setup

Start the Collector

Once you've specified and saved the details for the host collector, it is ready to start collecting performance data! On the Setup window, click the Start button for each collector.

When successfully started, the collector Status column displays a green tick symbol.

Once the collector is up and running, in just a short time you can start viewing the historical activity data. By default, AppDynamics for Databases logs data every one minute. You configure this aggregation interval on the Add New Collector and Edit Collector Configuration windows. For more information see, Collectors.

The Main Menu window now has an collector icon you can click to view the activity for the collector.

Click the collector icon to open the Activity window and see what AppDynamics for Databases has captured for you!

For information on using and interpreting the collector windows, see Use AppDynamics for Databases.

Resolve Collector Startup Problems

If the collector does not start and the icon in the Status column displays a red cross, then you can view the contents of the collector log file to investigate the problem. Click the Log file icon for the collector on the Collector Administration window. The log files are located in the <App4DB install directory>\agent directory and have the format CollectorName_out.log.
