2.2. Adding a Collector to Supercharger

To add a new collector to Supercharger:

1. Open Supercharger and go to the "Local Machine" tab.
   • If you do this step on the server that you want to add, the next step will be somewhat easier, but it is not a requirement. You can open Supercharger from any server by navigating to the address of the Manager server, for example, http://managerserver.domain.local/supercharger
   • If you do this step on the Supercharger manager or another server, you will just have to copy the installer to the server that you want to add.
   • Please do not use Internet Explorer. Instead, use Edge, Chrome, Firefox etc.
     
     
2. Click on the "Download and launch collector installer" link to download the installer.
   
   
   
3. Run the downloaded installer on the server you want to add.
   
   
4. The installer requires the two pieces of information provided in step 2 above.  Click the "Copy To Clipboard" button and paste the SQL Server DNS name in to the installer.  Do the same for the Authenticator code. Click Next to Install.
   
   
   
5. Once the installer is complete, navigate back to the Manager URL in the browser and click on the "Explorer" tab on the left.  In about less than a minute you should see the new collector pop up with Approve or Deny buttons. Click on Approve.
   
   
   
6. Click on "OK" on the confirmation message.
   
   
   
7. The new collector is now added and should turn green once all of the preliminary checks are complete.
