Move the Buffer Files of the Collector

About this task

We recommend that you move the buffer files to a new folder within the same drive. You cannot move files to a folder on a network shared drive.

When you move buffer files, the collector is stopped, and after the buffer files are moved, it is restarted.

Procedure

  1. Access Configuration Hub.
  2. In the NAVIGATION section, select Collectors.
    A list of collectors appears.
    Tip: You can filter the collectors by the system name.

  3. Right-click the collector instance whose buffer files you want to move (or select ), and then select Move Buffer.
    The Move Buffer: <collector name> window appears. The CURRENT LOCATION, COLLECTOR MACHINE, and RUNNING MODE fields are populated and disabled.
  4. In the TARGET LOCATION field, enter the path of the folder to which you want to move the buffer files.
  5. If the collector is running in the Windows service mode, select Move Buffer. If the collector is running in the command-line mode, enter values in the USERNAME and PASSWORD fields, and then select Move Buffer.
    The buffer files are moved, and the collector is started.
