-=== Create Admin Account === 
  
-If Vigilia is able to connect to the database, you will be invited to create an account. +If you want the application to start automatically when your server boot up, you should make sure to [[#Adding Vigilia as a Service|create a service]], or configure your web server (like Tomcat) to use vigilia-server.jar.
-The first account created will have the administrator rights.+
  
-=== Load License ===+===== Loggers =====
  
-Now that you have the administrator rights, you should load the license files. +Loggers are software able to scan a BACnet network and send the data back to a Vigilia server.
-On the upper right, you should see your username. Click on it and go to **Server Administration**. Then click on **License**. Select the license files and click upload.+
  
-You should see something similar to this:+The only publicly available logger is Wacnet (min version 1.8).
  
-{{:suppliers:hvac.io:vigilia:installation:license.png|}}+To start logging a network, **begin by running Wacnet**. 
 +Then go and configure a few things in the **[[http://localhost:47800/vigilia/configs|Vigilia Configs]]** page :
  
-=== Configure Service (optional) ===+==== Step 1: Connect to a Vigilia server ====
  
-If you want the application to start automatically when your server boot up, you should make sure to [[#Adding Vigilia as a Service|create a service]] (shown below), or configure your web server (like Tomcat) to use vigilia-server.jar.+The first thing to configure is a Vigilia API URLThis will tell Wacnet where it should send its data.
  
-=== Good to Go ===+It should have the following form:
  
-Once your Vigilia server is up and running, you can follow the steps to [[suppliers:hvac.io:vigilia:recording|record BACnet network]].+<code> 
 +http://<vigilia-IP-or-adrress>/api/v1 
 +</code> 
 + 
 + 
 +Make sure Wacnet can see the provided URL!

 + 
 +{{:suppliers:hvac.io:vigilia:installation:logger-step1.png|}} 
 + 
 +==== Step 2: Project credentials ==== 
 + 
 +You have to provide **project ID** and a **logging key/password**.  
 +Both are available through the project configurations on the Vigilia server. 
 + 
 +Here's an example : 
 +  * Project-id : 5371147be4b0222b740851a2 
 +  * Logging key: asdi34h5ha 
 + 
 +Make sure Wacnet has access to the project : 
 + 
 +{{:suppliers:hvac.io:vigilia:installation:logger-step2.png?800}} 
 + 
 + 
 +==== Start Logging ==== 
 + 
 +When Wacnet starts, it searches for Vigilia configurations. If it finds some, **it will start logging automatically**. 
 + 
 +To start the logging without restarting Wacnet, expand the details part of the page and click on "Start".

-===== Troubleshooting ===== 
- 
-==== Database Crash ==== 
- 
-If you database is becoming quite large (thousands of files in the dbpath), it's possible that your OS is going to refuse opening that much files simultaneously. 
- 
-In Linux, you can change the number of allowed files by editing the file ''/etc/security/limits.conf'' and adding the following lines : 
- 
-<code> 
-tokumx soft nofile 1000000 
-tokumx hard nofile 1000000 
-</code>
