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 Scavenger\Service 5.0)
- 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 set 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"
