Configure a Single Server with Multiple Data Collectors

This procedure is a continuation of Step 7a from the Initial Configuration Wizard topic.

To configure a single server with multiple data collectors, complete the following steps.

  1. After installing the Single Server, install the Data Collector.
  2. On the Environment selection screen, select Existing Deployment, and click OK.
  3. Confirm that the FQDN resolved to the correct IP address, and the PostgreSQL client can connect over TCP/IP with TLS.
  4. From the application server, run the command: fmos shareconf export
  5. Follow the on-screen prompts.
  6. Transfer the autoconfig bundle to the new data collector. Use the scp command, replacing <hostname> with the name of your server.
    • If all servers have the same user name setup for SSH use:

    scp fmos-config <hostname>.bundle <hostname>:

    • If the user name is different use:

    scp fmos-config <hostname>.bundle <username>@<hostname>:

  1. On the data collector, run the import command. Replacing <filename> with the name of the file generated and copied from the server.

fmos shareconf import <filename>

  1. The program will prompt for the Encryption Passphrase.
  2. Run the command fmos status to confirm that the servers are all running.
