content connector client

If you did not start the content connector client on the server computer itself, you need to set up the connection to the content connector server:

1. From the Tools menu, choose Settings. The Settings window opens:

   

2. In the Server address box, type or paste the internet address of the content connector server, together with the port number. Make sure the content connector server accepts connections from your network, and the port you set is open on the server. If there is a problem with this, contact your IT personnel.
3. If the content connector server uses the HTTPS protocol and an API key, paste the API key in the API key box. For the API key, ask the content connector server's administrator.
4. Click OK. The content connector client will try to connect to the server. If it is successful, the existing events appear. If not, you will get an error message.

Create a new connection to a folder, a Git repository, or a Subversion repository:

At the bottom of the window, click New connection.

To learn more, read the New connection topic.

Create  a new connection by copying the settings from an existing one:

1. Select the existing connection.

2. At the bottom of the window, click Clone connection.

3. The Clone connection window opens. This is the same as the Connection properties window, but it creates a new connection.

4. Make sure you change the name in the Name box.

   To learn more, read the Connection properties topic.

View or change the settings of an existing connection:

1. Select the existing connection.

2. At the bottom of the window, click Connection properties.

   To learn more, read the Connection properties topic.

If the content connector server runs for a very long time, its database can grow so big that the server becomes unusable. To avoid this, you should purge the database regularly.

1. In the Tools menu, click Configure log purge.
2. In the Configure log purge window, set how often you want to purge the database.
3. Click the Accept button.

When log purging is on, you can click the Disable purge button to turn it off. This is not recommended.

In the main window, click the Events tab:

Using the upper part of the window, you can filter

• for events that happened over a specific period of time,
• for events of a specific type (Info/Error)
• for events that belong to a specific connection or project.

  To filter the list, fill in the fields you need, and click Refresh.

If you need the newest events, simply click Refresh.
