Change the zone for a Data Collection Device
Normally, you assign a Data Collection Device (DCD) to a zone as part of the initial setup for that device. But you can change the zone to which a DCD is assigned as needed.
- From BIG-IQ, at the top of the screen, clickSystem, then, on the left, click .The BIG-IQ Data Collection Devices screen opens listing the DCDs in the cluster. The Services column lists the BIG-IP services monitored by each DCD. If no services are enabled for a DCD, this column displaysAdd Servicesinstead.
- Under Device Name, select the DCD that you want to revise.
- On the DCD properties page, clickEditto display the Edit Zone popup.
- To use an existingZone, select the zone you want to assign to this DCD and clickContinue.
- To use a newZone, selectCreate New, then type the name of the zone to want to create and assign to this DCD and clickContinue.
- ClickSave & Closeto close the DCD properties screen.
- Use SSH to log in to DCD asroot.
- Typebigstart restart elasticsearchand press Enter.
- Repeat the last three steps for each DCD that you want to move to this zone.As you run this command on each DCD, it momentarily stops processing DCD data, so the data routes to another node in the cluster and no data is lost.
You can now assign managed BIG-IP devices to this zone for data collection.
