# Activating Raw Data Collection

Raw data collection is responsible for sending raw logs and sampling data for debugging and reprocessing. The following configurations will guide you on the required configuration to activate raw data collection.

Raw data collection is active by default. If it is inactive, follow these instructions to activate:

Open a command prompt with Administrator level privileges.
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
```
Once in the directory, activate the collection of raw logs and sampling data for debugging and reprocessing, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
openit_oconfinit -u "C:/Program Files/OpeniT/Core/Configuration/module-activation/raw_collection.root.rawcollection.active=true"
```
By default, module activation changes are applied every 6 hours. However, if you want to activate the raw data collection 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.

Go to the bin directory, which is by default in /opt/openit/bin, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
cd $BIN_DIR
```
Example
```
cd /opt/openit/bin
```
Once in the directory, activate the collection of raw logs and sampling data for debugging and reprocessing, run the command:
Command Syntax
```
./openit_oconfinit -u "/var/opt/openit/etc/module-activation/raw_collection.root.rawcollection.active=true"
```
By default, module activation changes are applied every 6 hours. However, if you want to activate the raw data collection 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.

If you want to activate Raw Data Collection on selected clients, follow the instructions in the Activating Features on Selected Clients section.

# Activating Raw Data Collection for Poll and Log Collectors

Make sure that Raw Data Collection is activated.
