Collectors tab

The Collectors tab/page of the web interface can be used to view all collectors that are currently assigned to at least one profile.

The list/table includes the following details for each collector:

• IP address

• DNS name

• Timestamp when the collector was last confirmed as available

• Current status of the collector

• Total number of packets sent to the collector (with average rate)

• Total volume of data sent to the collector (average rate)

• All profiles associated with the collector

Any collectors that have triggered alarms will be highlighted in red, with the details of the alarm displayed in the Status column of the table.

Collector management

The collector overview table also provides access to the following functions:

• Deleting collectors from all profiles

• Adding/editing notes attached to collectors

• Manually forcing DNS name resolution for collector IP addresses

• Adding packet thresholds/caps to limit the packet sending rates to collectors

• Assigning collectors to specified profiles

• Removing collectors from specified profiles

• Inspecting profiles associated with a specific collector

Note

• The list can be filtered to show only collectors with alarms.

• The search field can also be used to find collectors whose IP address or DNS name matches the entered string.

• If a collector is deleted from all profiles, it will be removed from the list until it is manually added to at least one profile.
