Managing Collectors

Scenarios

• Offline upgrade: used for updating installed collectors
• Manual upgrade: used for installing or modifying collectors

Prerequisites

You have installed Edge and registered an account.

Offline Upgrade

1. Use the registered username and password to log in to the Edge console. In the navigation pane, choose Collectors.

   You can view the types, versions, and installation paths of installed collectors.

   

2. Sign in to the MgC console, download the latest Edge installation package and save it to the root directory of the Edge installation directory (for example, C:\Edge). Do not change the name of the installation package. Click Upgrade. The system automatically installs and upgrades the collector.
   On the Application Dependency Collectors tab page, if the version of the installed collector is the latest, the collector has been upgraded.

   

   If the installation package contains multiple collectors, all collectors will be upgraded at a time.

Manual Upgrade

1. Use the registered username and password to log in to the Edge console. In the navigation pane, choose Collectors.

   You can view the types, versions, and installation paths of installed collectors.

   

2. To add a collector, download the Edge installation package on the Tools page of the MgC console, manually decompress the package and save the installation file to the collector installation path (for example, C:\Edge\tools\plugins\collectors\app-discovery-collectors\python\mgc-app-discovery-collectors), and click Refresh. The system automatically installs the collector. On the Application Dependency Collectors tab page, if the new collector is displayed, the collector is successfully added.

   To modify the collector configuration file, copy and open the collector installation path, find the configuration file, and modify and save it. Then click Refresh. The system automatically updates the collector configuration information.
