This procedure is only for SmartConnectors that are not running as a service. Before you start ArcSight SmartConnectors, make sure the Manager is running. It’s also a good idea for the ArcSight Console to also be running, so that you can see the status of the configured SmartConnectors and view messages as they appear on the Console.
To start up an ArcSight SmartConnector:
Open a command window and navigate to the connector’s /current/bin directory.
Enter the following and press Enter:
On Linux:
./arcsight agents
On Windows:
arcsight agents
The connector in that folder starts.
