Activating File Space Collector

warning

Make sure that StorageAnalyzer is activated.

File Space Collector is inactive by default; you must activate it to begin monitoring the recursive file usage and usage reports grouping. Follow these instructions to activate:

Windows

1. Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.

2. Go to the bin directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin, run the command:

   Command Syntax

   cd <bin_dir>
   Example

   cd C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\bin

3. Once in the directory, activate the File Space collectors, run the command:

   Command Syntax

   openit_oconfinit -u "C:/Program Files/OpeniT/Core/Configuration/module-activation/storage_analyzer.root.storageanalyzer.filespace.active=true"

4. Set the activation interval for the file space collectors to weekly, run the command:

   Command Syntax

   openit_oconfinit -u "C:/Program Files/OpeniT/Core/Configuration/module-activation/storage_analyzer.root.storageanalyzer.filespace.configure.interval=weekly"

5. By default, module activation changes are applied every 6 hours. However, if you want to activate the File Space collectors immediately, run the appropriate command based on your system setup:

   • For a coexistent Open iT setup (Core Server and Client on the same machine), run the command:

     Command Syntax

     openit_moduleactivator

   • For a distributed setup (Core Server and Client(s) on separate machines), follow the steps in the Manually Creating and Downloading a Distributable Configuration Files Package section.
