Collector
=========

The Genian |product_name| Cloud Collector collects node information in the cloud environment and provides visibility into the cloud for users.

According to the configured execution cycle, the Cloud Collector queries the Cloud Service Provider to collect node information and cloud-related details.

How to Configure the Collector
------------------------------

To enable the Genian |product_name| Collector option, both :ref:`Cloud Provider Settings <cloud-provider>` and :ref:`Site Settings <site>` must be configured.

1. After configuring the site, change the **Application Mode** under the Collector option at the bottom to "Enabled".
