After you provision a Collector VM and start it, it will go through a process of installing updates and modules specified in the configuration ISO file which you downloaded. The time taken for this process is dependent on factors like the speed of the hardware you are running the Collector on and connectivity to the repositories that it downloads updates from. In some cases this process can take around 30 minutes.

If you have any problems, please submit a ticket via the SamurAI Portal.

If your Local Collector is being provisioned or has been restarted, the Collector may cycle through multiple status updates, this is not cause for alarm as this typically occurs for a short period of time as processes restart. Once complete your Local Collector status will be displayed as OK.

Collector Email Notifications

By default email notifications are enabled. The SamurAI platform sends email notifications to registered users when a Collector is reported as Critical (e.g. the SamurAI platform cannot communicate to the Collector) however this is customizable by users for any Collector status.

SamurAI Portal users can opt in or out of email notifications for any status. Please review Notifications Settings.

Enable or Disable Email Notifications

Click on More Options () to the right of the table
Select Notifications
Toggle the setting to enable or disable by selecting the bell icon. Alternatively you can select the default setting

You can also achieve this per individual Collector by:

Toggle the setting to enable or disable by selecting the bell icon. Alternatively you can select the default setting (send notification).
Click Save

If your Local Collector is being proivisioned or has been restarted, the Collector may cycle through multiple status updates, this is not cause for alarm as this typically occurs for a short period of time as processes restart. Once complete your Local Collector status will be displayed as OK.

What’s next?

The next step is to start configuring integrations which will allow the SamurAI platform to start receiving your telemetry data.

Select Integrations Overview for more information on integrations and where to start.

If you require high availability for your collector, this can be achieved using the capabilities of your virtualization platform.
