Enable .ini settings

Enable advanced plugin controls through an .ini configuration file.

Advanced controls can be enabled through an .ini file. By default the .ini file does not exist. If this file is created empty, the Network Optix Mediaserver populates it with all available settings, their defaults, and some documentation.

Create the .ini File

Linux

Create an empty file by running:

sudo mkdir -p /home/networkoptix-metavms/.config/nx_ini 
sudo touch /home/networkoptix-metavms/.config/nx_ini/nx_ai_manager_plugin.ini 
sudo chmod 666 /home/networkoptix-metavms/.config/nx_ini/nx_ai_manager_plugin.ini

Windows

Create the server .ini folder and in that folder create a file named 'nx_ai_manager_plugin.ini'

C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\nx_ini

C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\nx_ini\nx_ai_manager_plugin.ini

The Nx Witness documentation describes this process in detail:

How to Create .ini Files for Nx Witness

Restart the Mediaserver

Restart the Mediaserver after initializing the .ini file. When the server restarts, the server will write the all available settings to the .ini file with their default values and inline documentation comments.

For example:

After a server restart, the .ini file is populated with all available settings and their default values
