Stop a Collector

About this task

When you stop a collector, the collector stops collecting data, and it is disconnected from the destination. If, however, you want the collector to remain connected to the destination, you can instead pause data collection.

Procedure

  1. Access Configuration Hub.
  2. In the NAVIGATION section, under the Configuration Hub plugin for Historian, select Collectors.
    A list of collectors appears.
    Tip: You can filter the collectors by the system name.
  3. Right-click the collector instance that you want to stop (or select ), and then select Stop.
    The Stop: <collector name> window appears. The COLLECTOR MACHINE and CURRENT RUNNING MODE fields are populated and disabled.
  4. If the collector is running in the command-line mode, enter values in the USERNAME and PASSWORD fields.
  5. Select Stop.
    The collector is stopped, and the data collection is paused. The status of the collector in the Collectors section changes to Stopped.
