# Activating StorageAnalyzer and Other Data Collection Sources

The following sections will guide you on the required configuration to activate StorageAnalyzer and other data collection sources.

# Activating StorageAnalyzer

StorageAnalyzer is inactive by default; you must activate it before activating other data collection sources. 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 data collection for StorageAnalyzer, run the command:

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

By default, module activation changes are applied every 6 hours. However, if you want to activate the data collection for StorageAnalyzer 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 data collection for StorageAnalyzer, run the command:

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

By default, module activation changes are applied every 6 hours. However, if you want to activate the data collection for StorageAnalyzer 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 StorageAnalyzer on selected clients, follow the instructions in the Activating Features on Selected Clients section.

# Activating File Systems Collector

Make sure that StorageAnalyzer is activated.

File Systems Collector is inactive by default; you must activate it to begin monitoring the available and used space on file systems (drives). 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 File System collectors, run the command:

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

By default, module activation changes are applied every 6 hours. However, if you want to activate the File System 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.

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 File System collectors, run the command:

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

By default, module activation changes are applied every 6 hours. However, if you want to activate the File System 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.

If you want to activate File Systems Collector on selected clients, follow the instructions in the Activating Features on Selected Clients section.

# Activating File Space Collector

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:

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 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"

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"

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
```
