Using the Data Collector UI

When SDC Edge is accessible by the Data Collector machine and when the deployed edge pipeline has the Data Collector Edge URL property correctly configured, you can use the Data Collector UI to manage edge pipelines.

Managing edge pipelines includes previewing, validating, starting, stopping, resetting the origin, and monitoring the pipelines.
Note: When you preview, validate, or start an edge pipeline from Data Collector that has not yet been deployed to SDC Edge, Data Collector publishes and then starts the pipeline.
  1. Open the edge pipeline in the pipeline canvas.
  2. On the General tab, set the Data Collector Edge URL property to the URL of the SDC Edge instance that you want to manage the pipeline on.
    The default URL is http://localhost:18633.
  3. Use the Data Collector top toolbar to preview, validate, start, stop, and reset the origin for the edge pipeline running on SDC Edge - just as you manage standalone or cluster pipelines running on Data Collector.

    As an edge pipeline runs, the Data Collector UI displays the pipeline in Monitor mode so that you can monitor the edge pipeline status and metrics.
