Enabling Export for an InterMapper Server
Open InterMapper Server Settings to the Reports Server page. If IMDatabase is running on the same machine as your InterMapper server, click the Start button to begin using the database. When IMDatabase is running on a different machine from your IM Server, you will need to click the Use Remote Reports Server button, and fill these four fields:
Server:${dc.hostIP}
Port:${pagedata['listenPort']}
Name:${dc.adminUser}
Password:The IMDC password (same as to log into this admin panel)
When the Start button is pressed, IMDatabase will perform some connection tests, then begin collecting data from the InterMapper Server.
In addition to keeping up with new data as it is produced, IMDatabase will also gather old events and data collected by the InterMapper Server in the past. The Oldest data to collect setting determines the oldest data that will appear in the database. The Collection Schedule setting affects how aggressively IMDatabase imports this old data. This helps manage network and CPU load, since collecting large volumes of old data may take some time. With this setting, you can configure IMDatabase to collect old data immediately, more gradually, or only on weekends.
Connecting to the Built-In Database
When configuring tools such as pgAdmin or Crystal Reports to connect to IMDatabase's built-in PostgreSQL service, the following information may be useful:
Host:${dc.hostIP}
Port:8183
Database:intermapper
