Introduction
The Insights On-Premises (IOP) Forwarder is a lightweight application that collects and forwards data from a dedicated folder to an indexer residing on the IOP server. The data, also called activity files, is stored in a folder that you defined during the installation of the ControlUp On-Premises server.
Installation Files
Installation files for all on-premises components are provided by our support team. Contact us at support@controlup.com.
Installation Path
- If you use a local directory on the monitor machine, install the IOP Forwarder on each monitor machine.
- If you use a network share on which the activity files are stored, then you need to install the IOP Forwarder on the machine where the network folder resides.
Prerequisites
- A Windows Server machine with the ControlUp Monitor installed
- An IOP server that retrieves the activity files from the IOP Forwarder.
