Introduction

The installer configures the Data Collector to start automatically, however, it does not actually start it upon completion of the installation because you must first validate the installation. Follow these steps, for the relevant operating system, to manually start the Data Collector service.

This also starts the Aptare Agent process, Zookeeper, and Kafka services on the respective systems.

On Windows

The installer configures the Data Collector process as a Service.

To view the Data Collector Status:

  1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel

  2. Click Administrative Tools.

  3. Click Services. The Services dialog is displayed.

  4. Start the Aptare Agent service.

On Linux

The installer automatically copies the Data Collector "start" and "stop" scripts to the appropriate directory, based on the vendor operating system.

To start the data collector, use the following command:

/opt/aptare/mbs/bin/aptare_agent start
