13.2 Starting and Stopping Sentinel Server

A Sentinel Server is made up of the following components:
Communication Server

 Correlation Engine
DAS

Collector Manager

Any combination of the above components can be installed in a particular Sentinel Server.
In a distributed installation of Sentinel, it is likely that there will be more than one machine with a
Sentinel Server running on it. In this case, all of the Sentinel Servers work together to provide the
complete Sentinel functionality.
NOTE: At most one Communication Server and DAS component can be installed across all
Sentinel Servers in a distributed Sentinel installation. On the other hand, multiple instances of
Correlation Engine and Collector Managers are allowed.
When a Sentinel Server is started or stopped, all components installed in that Sentinel Server are
also started or stopped. To start or stop a particular component on a Sentinel Server, use the Servers
View under the Admin tab in Sentinel Control Center.
You need to start or stop a Sentinel Server because of the following routine maintenance:
