File Locations
PA File Sight stores a variety of files under the product directory. This will explain what and where they are.
- C:\Program Files\PA File Sight
- Product executable and DLL files
- C:\Program Files\PA File Sight\CA
- Self-signed SSL certificate files
- C:\Program Files\PA File Sight\Config
- Database containing computer, monitor, action, and report configuration. A Backup directory below this contains periodic exports of the configuration
which you can use to go back to a previous point if needed. The backups do not contain password information.
- C:\Program Files\PA File Sight\Databases
- Database files which hold monitor findings as well as some system management data. If you choose to use MS SQL Server instead of the embedded database,
only a few system management database files will exist here. This directory is configurable via Database Settings.
- C:\Program Files\PA File Sight\Install
- The PA File Sight installer will copy itself here, along with a few files to help Satellites upgrade themselves. When you download the
Console installer from the product's main report page, it comes from this directory.
- C:\Program Files\PA File Sight\Logs
- Default location for internal product log files. This can be changed in Global Settings.
- C:\Program Files\PA File Sight\Maps
- The Visual Status Map report pulls initial maps graphics during configuration from this folder. You
can add your own map graphics here if you wish.
- C:\Program Files\PA File Sight\Reports
- All reports are generated and stored in this directory. The Shared directory contains files used by all reports. You can delete this directory and everything will be
recreated as needed. This directory is configurable via Report Settings.
