Changing Historian Server Name

Changing the Historian Server Name Using Registry

By default, custom collector tries to connect to the local Historian server. If you want the collector to connect to a remote Historian server, you must change the HistorianNodeName registry key located at:

  • On a 64 bit machine, this is under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Intellution, Inc.\iHistorian\Services\<CollectorName>\
  • On a 32 bit collector, this is under \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intellution, Inc.\iHistorian\Services\<CollectorName>\
