When you need to restart a Collector, you can do so from within LogicMonitor or from the Collector host.

To remotely restart a Collector from within the LogicMonitor platform:
1. Navigate to Settings | Collectors.
2. In the table, ind the Collector and click its Manage icon.
3. In the Manage Collector dialog, click Support and select “Restart Collector” from the menu.

- LogicMonitor Collector
- LogicMonitor Collector Watchdog
On a Linux host. To restart a Collector, run the following commands:
