The /Disconnect parameter disconnects a specified ACS forwarder or group of forwarders from the ACS collector. No output is generated from the /Disconnect parameter. To check an ACS forwarder’s status after using the /Disconnect parameter, use the*/Connected* subparameter of the /Stats parameter.

Syntax

AdtAdmin.exe /Disconnect [/Collector:<CollectorName>] {/Forwarder:<Name> | /ForwarderSid:<SID> | /Group:<GroupName> | /GroupID:<IdentificationNumber> | /Value:<ValueNumber>}

Subparameter

Definition

/Collector:CollectorName

Specifies an ACS collector you want to disconnect. If this subparameter is omitted, the local ACS collector is assumed.

/Forwarder:Name

Specifies an ACS forwarder by its computer name.

/ForwarderID:ForwarderIDNumber

Specifies an ACS forwarder by its identification number. An identification number is assigned to an ACS forwarder when it first connects to the ACS collector.

/ForwarderSID:SID

Specifies an ACS forwarder by its computer security identification number.

/Group:GroupName

Specifies a group of ACS forwarders by the group’s name.

/GroupID: IdentificationNumber

Specifies a group of ACS forwarders by the group’s identification number. An identification number is assigned to a group when it is first created.

/Value:ValueNumber

Specifies an ACS forwarder or ACS group by its assigned connection value. The ACS collector prioritizes connections from ACS forwarders using connection values. Connection values range from -1 through 99. A value of -1 means the forwarder is part of an ACS group and that the group's value is used to determine the forwarder's priority. A value of 0 means the ACS collector ignores data from that ACS forwarder or group. If event saturation is detected, a collector will disconnect forwarders or a group of forwarders with lower values before disconnecting forwarders with higher values.

Example

This example disconnects an ACS forwarder named Server1:

adtadmin /disconnect /forwarder:"Server1"
