Data Archive configuration node

The configuration node is the Data Archive server that stores all of your interface, monitored device, and organizational metadata in MDB. The configuration node should be the Data Archive server where you collect all of your data, or it can be a different Data Archive server in your network.

You must connect to a Data Archive server before you select the configuration node.

The configuration node stores the configuration information in its Module Database. The monitored device list file stores a history of the devices collected. The interface list file stores information about the PI interfaces in your deployment.
