Managing Collectors

Scenarios

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

Prerequisites

You have installed the MgC Agent and registered an account.

Offline Upgrade

1. Use your username and password to log in to the MgC Agent 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 MgC Agent installation package and save it to the root directory of the MgC Agent 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, 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 MgC Agent 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 MgC Agent installation package on the MgC Agents 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, 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.
