Add a System
About this task
If you want to manage a Historian system using Configuration Hub, you must add it to Configuration Hub.
When you access Configuration Hub for the first time, a default Historian system is available. In a distributed
environment, the primary server of this system is the machine whose Configuration Hub details you enter while installing Web-based Clients. This topic describes how to add another system.
Note: Adding a Historian system
is specific to the logged-in user.
Procedure

In the NAVIGATION section, under the Configuration Hub
plugin for Historian, select Systems.
