Determine the Unique Identifier for Data Collector

Determine the unique identifier for Data Collector before moving this component to another host.

Retrieve the Data Collector ID using one of the following methods:

• Log in to CA Performance Center as a user with the Administrator role, and do the following steps:
  1. Select Admin, and then select a Data Aggregator data source from the menu.
  2. The Data Aggregator Admin UI opens.
  3. Select System Status, Data Collectors from the menu.
  4. Find the Data Collector component that you want to move and notate its ID.
• Open a web browser and issue the following web service call:

  http://DA_hostname:port/rest/dcms
  

  DA_hostname:port

  Specifies the Data Aggregator host name and the port number.

  Default port: 8581

  Find the <DataCollectionMgrInfo> section whose HostName and IPAddress match the one you want to move. Notate the value for <DcmID>.

Next, stop the Data Collector services on the current host.
