Adding a secondary destination

You can add a secondary destination to receive events from your WinCollect agents if the primary destination fails.

  1. In the WinCollect 10 Console, click the menu icon and select Destinations.
    The default installation of WinCollect 10 contains a destination that is named JSA. You can use this destination or add a new destination.
  2. Select the default JSA destination to open the Properties window.
  3. On the Destination Properties window, configure the following options:
    Option Description
    Secondary Device Address Type the hostname or IP address of the secondary destination. The destination can be an appliance in the same deployment or a separate deployment. If the agent can connect to the IP address or hostname, the agent fails over to this appliance if it loses connection with the primary Device Address.
    Failover timeout (seconds) The amount of time the agent waits before failing over to the Secondary Device Address. The default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). After the agent fails over to the secondary device, it checks every 5 minutes for a connection to the primary device.
    Note:

    For a secondary destination, you must select the TCP Protocol.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Deploy your changes.
