Configuring Windows File Servers on Symantec Data Insight 4.5

Today we will look at Configuring Windows File Servers on Symantec Data Insight 4.5.

Symantec Data Insight requires an agent to be installed on a Windows File Server machine if you want to monitor access events on the file server.

So I create tekbloqshare folder on SYMEP.tekbloq.local server and and shared that folder.

To install the Windows File Server agent manually locate the agent installer Symantec_DataInsight_windows_winnas_4.5_X_arch.zip file and unzip it and Double-click the agent installer (Symantec_DataInsight_windows_winnas_4_5_X_arch.exe) to launch it.

The Welcome to the Symantec Data Insight Setup Wizard window appears. Click Next:

You must register the worker node and the portal node with the Management Server to enable communication between them.

In the Register Worker Node with Management Server window, enter the Management Server address and Communication Service keystore file(The keystore file, commd.keystore, enables secure communication between worker nodes and the Management Server. It is present in the keys subfolder of the Management Server’s data directory. You must manually copy the keystore file from the Management Server machine to a temporary location on the worker node. By default the data directory is located on the Management Server at C:\DataInsight\data. It might be different for your setup. You can locate the data directory by reading the file C:\Program Files\Symantec\DataInsight\datadir.conf on the Management Server or by running the configb -d command.) and click Register Now:
