Pause the Data Collection of a Collector

When you pause data collection, the collector stops collecting the data. However, the collector is still connected to the destination. If you want to disconnect the collector from the destination, stop the collector.
Note: You cannot pause the data collection of an offline collector.
  1. Access Historian in Configuration Hub.
  2. In the NAVIGATION section, select Collectors.

    Tip: You can filter the collectors by the system name.
  3. Right-click the collector instance for which you want to pause data collection (or select ), and then select Pause Data Collection.
    A message appears, asking you to confirm whether you want to pause data collection.
  4. Select Pause.
    The data collection is paused, and the collector is stopped.
