5.4.3.1 EDB settings in the SYSTEM device

There are settings regarding the Event Database (e.g. IP address of the EventDB Server) which needs to be configured in the SYSTEM device.

For basic operation no additional configuration is required. The defaults settings are:

• primary log queue destination: localhost
• secondary log queue destination: offline

This requires local.edb=yes and duplicate.edb=no in vlc.properties.

As a results all events being stored in the local event database.

For installations with a central server (including EventDB) you add here the IP addresses of the central server, for example:

• primary log queue destination: 192.168.1.101
• secondary log queue destination: offline

In this case the local EventDB can be disabled with local.edb=no in vlc.properties.

If you have a pair of redundant EventDB server you can add the second address, e.g:

• primary log queue destination: 192.168.1.101
• secondary log queue destination: 172.17.3.222

If you want to store the events additionally on the local system, just set local.edb=yes and duplicate.edb=yes in vlc.properties.
