Set up the Collector
You need to use the Collector (optional) if you are using multiple Instances of Insight Discovery or if you need to transfer the Result-Data through different network segments (as shown in this Picture).
Setting up the Collector
To set up the Collector:
- Extract the Discovery Package on your System that should run the Tool.
- Start a Command Prompt and move to the extracted Discovery-Folder.
Run the Command Prompt with Administrator Privileges.
This will be required to write into the destination Folder if you choose "C:\Program File" or it will be needed to install the Collector-Tool as a Service.
