5.6.4. Collectors

In "Collector status" you can see the state of all configured collectors. In front of the collector name is an LED indicator. Green LED indicator means that the collector is running, red LED means that the collector is disabled and a blinking red LED means that the collector is enabled, but not running. If a unit is ready, but the collector still doesn't run, see syslog messages on the unit server for error messages. A non-running collector is indicated after 30 seconds of inactivity.
