Single Node collector is easy to deploy, and provides same features as cluster mode. You can use almost all default config to run in this mode. And attention, all the default configs of single node mode, depend on running the collector, traced application, ElasticSearch and Zookeeper in the same machine.
### Deploy collector servers
1. Run `tar -xvf skywalking-collector.tar.gz`
1. Run `bin/startup.sh`
2. Config collector in cluster mode.
Cluster mode depends on Zookeeper register and application discovery capabilities. So, you just need to adjust the IP config items in `config/application.yml`. Change IP and port configs of agent_server, agent_stream, ui, collector_inside, replace them to the real ip or hostname which you want to use for cluster.
-`config/application.yml`
```

# The address of Zookeeper
# The Zookeeper cluster for collector cluster management.

# IPs in agent_server, agent_stream, ui, collector_inside are addresses of Collector
