Add an Offline Collector Instance

About this task

You can use an offline collector to send data directly to a cloud destination (without using a Historian server).

Procedure

Access the installation folder of the Historian server. By default, it is C:\Program Files\GE Digital.
If you want to manually enter the installation parameters and values, run the following command:
```
ihCollectorManager_x64.exe InterfaceCreateViaCmd "{\"<parameter>\":\"<value>\",
\"<parameter>\":\"<value>\"}"
```
If you want to use a JSON file containing the installation parameters and values, run the following command:
```
ihCollectorManager_x64.exe InterfaceCreateViaFile "<path to the JSON file>"
```
Instead of manually creating the JSON file, you can use the RemoteCollectorConfigurator utility to generate it automatically.
For information on the parameters, refer to Collector Instance Parameters.
