How to set up an Event Reaper Service

• Log on to the server where the service must run (if not local)
• Install(MSI)/copy the service to the local drive (default c:\Program Files\Hen IT\Event Reaper 5)
• Open a command (cmd.exe) with with 'Run as Administrator'
• Change directory to the path where the service (EventReaper.exe) file is located
• Run the 'install' command (e.g):

  EventReaper.exe -install "Harbinger" "Event Reaper - Harbinger"

  This will install a new instance of the service named 'Harbinger'
• Edit the EventReaper.exe.config file and database details and optionally the collector name e.g.

  <setting name="CollectorName" serializeAs="String">
     <value>Harbinger</value>
  </setting>

• Remember to restart service(s) after the config file has been updated
• Run the Event Scavenger Admin tool and add the new Reaper instance details

• ---

• To uninstall service/instance use the -uninstall command e.g.

  EventReaper.exe -uninstall "Harbinger"
