DataServers and DataCollectors and essentially servers that allow you to collect data from other data sources via connections that you specify in the RTView Configuration Application, which is contained within each deliverable. DataCollectors act as “sender” data servers, which collect data from your configured data sources and send the collected data to the associated DataServer (“receiver data server”).

DataServers allow you to configure historian and alert database connections, automatically collect data from any associated DataCollectors, as well as from any additional data sources to which you configure connections. This data can then be viewed in either RTView Cloud, by creating a connection to the data server in RTView Cloud, or in RTView Enterprise Edition by connecting the data server to the RTView Central deliverable (RTView Enterprise) using the EM Integration tab in the RTView Configuration Application.

The entire installation, setup, and verification steps are described in detail in the DataServer and DataCollector Quick Start Guides.
