Is following collector cold standby feasible ? Kiyoshi

Theoretically you could script the collector download/install. There would be a small gap in monitoring, but that could achieve what you are looking for.
I can’t remember the specifics, but I believe if you install the collector and shutdown it down, then start another with the same config, after awhile there is a key like rotation that would be missed and the cold standby would just be rejected by the portal.
That’s true. Would be better to just stand up a new collector with the same ID. You can do this in a container pretty easily. Setup docker on both machines and setup a swarm. Then just configure the number of collector services to 1.
