Usage scenario

Standalong mode collector means don't support cluster. It uses H2 as storage layer implementation, suggest that use only for preview, test, demonstration, low throughputs and small scale system.

Requirements

• JDK 8+

Download

• Releases

Quick start

You can simplely tar/unzip and startup if ports 10800, 11800, 12800 are free.

• tar -xvf skywalking-collector.tar.gz in Linux, or unzip in windows.
• run bin/startup.sh or bin/startup.bat

You should keep the config/application.yml as default.

Use Elastic Search instead of H2 as storage layer implementation

Even in standalone mode, collector can run with Elastic Search as storage. If so, uncomment the storage section in application.yml, set the config right.
