Restart a Collector

About this task

You can restart a collector to stop and start it again. You can restart a collector only if it is running. However, when you modify a collector instance, based on the values you modify, you will be prompted and given the option to restart the collector before you save the modifications. Without restarting, the modifications will not take effect.
