Reconfiguring the Data Collector to bypass the Port Consolidator

If after configuring the Data Collector to use the Port Consolidator, you want the Data Collector to bypass the Port Consolidator, perform the following procedure:

1. Unconfigure the Data Collector in the Visualization Engine (Application Monitor) user interface:
   1. Start the Managing Server.
   2. From the top navigation, click Administration > Server Management > Data Collector Configuration.

      The Data Collector Management page opens.

   3. Go to the Configured Data Collectors at the top of the page.
   4. To unconfigure the Data Collector, select the check box that is next to the Data Collector, and click Apply.

   The unconfigured Data Collector is added to the Unconfigured Data Collectors page.

   Notes:

   1. If the data collection has reports associated with it, you are prompted to delete those reports before unconfiguring the Data Collector.
2. Stop the Port Consolidator. From a command prompt, enter one of the following values:

   Table 1. Entering the proxyserverctrl_j2ee command

   Windows	proxyserverctrl_j2ee.bat stop
   UNIX and Linux	./proxyserverctrl_j2ee.sh stop

3. Verify that the Port Consolidator is stopped by entering one of the following commands:

   Table 2. Entering the proxyserverctrl_j2ee command

   Windows	proxyserverctrl_j2ee.bat list
   UNIX and Linux	./proxyserverctrl_j2ee.sh list

   You will now see the message KERNELPROXY is down.

4. Reconfigure the Data Collector to bypass the Port Consolidator:
   1. Stop the application server.
   2. Edit the DC_home/runtime/app_server_version.node_name.server_name/custom/datacollector_custom.properties file. Remove the following lines from the end of the file:

      proxy.host=IP address of Data Collector

      proxy.port=port

   3. Check for the same lines in the DC_home/runtime/appserver_version.node_name.server_name/appserver_version.node_name.server_name.datacollector.properties file; if they are present, remove them.
   4. Restart the instance of the application server that is being monitored by the Data Collector.
5. Check the configuration of your Data Collector. In the Visualization Engine (Application Monitor) user interface, click Administration > Server Management > Data Collector Configuration.

   The Data Collector will be listed. However, it will be showing as unavailable.

6. View Unconfigured Data Collectors.

   Your Data Collector will be listed.
