Starting Up Pepperdata (RPM/DEB)

After Pepperdata is installed and configured, start up the Pepperdata services: the PepCollector and the PepAgent.

Procedure

1. Start the Pepperdata Collector.

   You can use either the service (if provided by your OS) or systemctl command:

   • sudo service pepcollectd start
   • sudo systemctl start pepcollectd

   If any of the process’s startup checks fail, an explanatory message appears and the process does not start. Address the issues and try again to start the process.

2. Start the PepAgent.

   You can use either the service (if provided by your OS) or systemctl command:

   • sudo service pepagentd start
   • sudo systemctl start pepagentd

   If the service successfully starts, the Pepperdata Version [VERSION-STRING] OK message appears in the /var/log/pepperdata/pepagent/pepagent.log file.

   If any of the process’s startup checks fail, an explanatory message appears and the process does not start. Address the issues and try again to start the process.
