Add an Offline Collector Instance

About this task

You can use an offline collector to send data directly to a cloud destination (without using a Historian server).

Procedure

  1. Access the installation folder of the RemoteCollectorConfigurator utility. By default, it is C:\Program Files\GE Digital\NonWebCollectorInstantiationTool.
  2. If you want to manually enter the installation parameters and values, run the following command:
    ihCollectorManager_x64.exe InterfaceCreateViaCmd "{\"<parameter>\":\"<value>\",
    \"<parameter>\":\"<value>\"}"
    If you want to use a JSON file containing the installation parameters and values, run the following command:
    ihCollectorManager_x64.exe InterfaceCreateViaFile "<path to the JSON file>"
    Instead of manually creating the JSON file, you can use the RemoteCollectorConfigurator utility to generate it automatically.
    For information on the parameters, refer to Collector Instance Parameters.
