Question by Rajesh S. · Sep 07, 2015 at 02:37 PM · collector

serveraddress parameter keeps resetting in collector.config.xml for a created collector instance

Hello there,

We created an another instance of collector (besides the default one) by command:

dtcollector -service install -instance DigiAppCollector -listen localhost:9997 -server xxx.50.56.226

But since now our collector machine is moved to network that of production, the IP address of Dynatrace server changed so we need to change new dynatrace server IP to xxx.16.23.60

So we tried changing the corresponding collector.config.xml -> serveraddress="

xxx.16.23.60" (at which is at <dt home>\collector\instances\digiwebcollector\conf)

However when we restart the collector service instance the old value for server IP keeps reappearing in config file.

What I am missing here?

Please suggest.

[Note: Can't delete or create the service, since no rights to do this. And we have already changed the default config at <dt home>\collector\conf\collector.config.xml. Also we can see the default one in Dynatrace Settings -> Collectors ]

Thanks in advance.

@Markus Baumgartner Thanks for quick answer.

To change this registry we obviously needed admin rights. So we requested temporary admin rights and recreated the services instead.

Thanks.

The command line parameter "-serverxxx.50.56.226" specified when creating the service will still be passed to dtcollector.exe each time you start the service. It will override the config file.

The parameters for services can be changed in the registry, normally

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\dynaTrace Collector 6.2 (DigiAppCollector).

It would be nice if there would be log indicating that there was mismatch between these Server IPs.
