Site Collectors Setup

For on-premises systems, such as Active Directory, where servers are physically located on your premises, you need to set up site collectors to facilitate accessing data sources. A site collector is a virtual appliance.

After you set up a site collector, you enter its name when you set up certain on-premises data sources. This is described in the section On-Prem Data Sources.

Adding a New Site Collector

1. In the left navigation menu, expand Source Management and then select Configuration.

   
2. Select New Collector.

3. Enter the Name of the site collector. You can name it anything meaningful. You will use the name when you set up an on-premises data source. This is a required field.

   
4. In Site, enter the location of the collector. This can be a physical location. You can set up a collector that collects data in only one location instead of your entire wide area network. This is a required field.

5. Optionally, enter any Notes.

6. Click Save.

7. At the top of the Site Collectors pane, expand Select a Collection Time and select the time you want collections to occur. This is the time each day that Epiphany will run your data collection.

Editing an Existing Site Collector

Once a site collector is added, you can view it by expanding Site Collectors. The image below shows three site collectors called Agency A, HQ, and Agency B.

1. Expand the Actions drop-down and select Update.
2. Make any edits to the Name, Site, or Notes and then select Save.

You can also use the Delete item in the Actions drop-down to delete site collectors you're no longer using. The other items in the Actions drop-down are used when setting up data sources, They are described in detail in the instructions for setting up specific data sources in the Data Sources section.
