Configuring Data Collection

About this task

When administrating the destination computer using the Historian Administrator, you can browse and add tags that exist on the source computer using the same steps as used with other data collectors. You can view the status and properties of the Server-to-Server Collector on the configured destination computer as well.
Note: The Server-to-Server collector requires licensing on the destination machine. It is similar to any other collector. The destination machine will have the Server to Server listed in its collector list.

Procedure

  1. Start the Server-to-Server Collector.
  2. Create the destination tag.
