Install, Configure and Manage Collectors
Collectors runs inside your infrastructure and acts as a proxy between your devices and LM Envision.
In order to gather all of the metrics necessary to monitor an IT infrastructure, LogicMonitor developed an application called the Collector. The Collector is designed to run in the infrastructure to be monitored, gather metrics, and securely communicate results to the LogicMonitor platform for processing. Collectors are an essential component of LogicMonitor's monitoring solution—they are the link between LogicMonitor and the monitored infrastructure. As an administrator, planning the installation of Collectors, configuring failover, and monitoring Collector capacity are critical tasks to ensure uninterrupted insight into the performance of your infrastructure
