Deploying Integration Service and Collection Station on the same node

The topic explains the use case to install the Collection Station (component of TrueSight IT Data Analytics) with the Integration Service (component of TrueSight Infrastructure Management) on the same node. This use case can help you better utilize physical resources (machines already acquired) by installing the Collection Station on a node hosting the Integration Service.

When you deploy the Collection Station on the node hosting the Integration Service, the Collection Station continues to communicate with the Indexers and Configuration Database.

This topic contains the following information:

Deploying the Collection Station on the Integration Service node

Notes

After deploying the Collection Station, if you find resource utilization issues, then you might want to consider moving the Collection Station to a separate node.
