The Collection Service collects data from your SharePoint farms and Server Groups and stores it for the Management Console to access. You connect the Metalogix Diagnostic Manager Management Console to a Collection Service. The Management Console can connect to a single Collection Service at a time. If your network includes multiple Collection Services, you can connect to each in turn.
NOTE: If you run the Management Console on a computer that also hosts the Collection Service, then Management Console connects to the local Collection Service by default. You can manually select a different Collection Service. |
To connect to the Collection Service:
1In the Management Console ribbon, choose Home> ... > Connect to Collection Service.
2In the Connect to the Collection Service dialog box, type the name or IP Address of the computer that hosts the Collection Service.
3Click OK.
If you want to monitor O365 tenants and public Web pages from a machine that does not have Internet access or you want to use a secure connection, you can specify a proxy server to use for connecting to the Internet.
IMPORTANT: If you want to monitor an O365 tenant using a proxy, before you add the tenant to Metalogix Diagnostic Manager you must first configure the proxy in Internet Explorer. Otherwise, the message "Navigation to the Web page was canceled" will display when you attempt to add the tenant. Once the tenant has been successfully added, however, the proxy setting is no longer needed in Internet Explorer.
To configure web proxy settings:
1.From the Management Console Options tab, click Web Proxy.
