Please edit this file: C:\Program Files\Sightline\Data Collector Service\config.properties 1. Look for this entry: #Data Repository Type. Valid options are tracefile, sightlinedb, or both dcs.repository.type=sightlinedb Change this to read: dcs.repository.type=tracefile 2. Below it there will be an entry like this: #Data Repository Read Type. This setting controls where all data requests will be read data from. Valid options are tracefile or sightlinedb dcs.repository.read.type=sightlinedb Change this to read: dcs.repository.read.type=tracefile 3. Look for this entry: #TF locations tf.location= C:/Program Files/Sightline/Data Collector Service /data/live archived.tf.location= C:/Program Files/Sightline/Data Collector Service /data/archive summarized.tf.location= C:/Program Files/Sightline/Data Collector Service /data/summary This is where the DCS process will write the trace files. If you have plenty of space on this drive, it is okay. If you want to write the trace files to another location, change it here. 4. Save the file. 5. Restart the Sightline DCS service. Symptoms This is specific to a Windows installation where the data repository is NOT running (currently cannot run as a service), must be started manually. Cause EDM connections will not connect to agents.
