Installation
Download the latest version and execute the MSI installer from releases. This will create a CollectdWin service.
Configuration
The configuration files can be found in one of these folders (depending on the build):
- C:\Program Files\CollectdWin\config
- C:\Program Files (x86)\CollectdWin\config
In addition, the application configuration file contains advanced settings:
- C:\Program Files\CollectdWin\CollectdWinService.exe.config
- C:\Program Files (x86)\CollectdWin\CollectdWinService.exe.config Note that in old releases all the configuration settings were held in the application configuration file.
Restart the CollectdWin service for changes to take effect. If the service fails to start it is most likely that there is a mistake in aconfiguration file. See troubleshooting below.
General settings
Edit the CollectdWin.config configuration file to choose which plugins you want enabled and set general configuration.
| Name | Required? | Default | Description |

| Timeout | Yes | 120 | If StoreRates is True, metrics that are not updated within this period are removed from the internal cache |

Troubleshooting
Logs are written to C:\ProgramData\CollectdWin\CollectdWin.log by default. Errors are written to the Event Log. You can adjust the log file level by editing this line near the end of the application configuration file:
<logger name="*" writeTo="default" minlevel="[Trace/Debug/Info/Warn/Error/Fatal]" />
