The Collector service

The Collector service sends a heartbeat to the controller every 30 seconds. By default, the Collector will wait for 30 minutes for adapters to synchronize.

The collector properties, including enabling or disabling Self Protection, can be configured from the collector.properties properties file located in /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/user/conf/collector.

Here are some useful service log locations:
