Adding a destination

If you installed the WinCollect 10 agent by using the "Quick Installation," a destination called JSA was created during the installation. You can also add a new destination.

  1. From the Agent Configuration menu, select Destinations.
  2. On the Destinations window, click Add in the Destinations section.
  3. Enter the following required information:
    Option Description

    If you want to specify a secondary destination, you must select the TCP Protocol.
    For more information about other optional parameters, see the "Destination parameters" table.
