Summary
The Data to Server feature provides you with the possibility to set up data senders that collect data from various sources and periodically send it to remote servers.
Data Senders
A Data Sender is an instance that gathers and periodically sends collected data to a specified server. The Data Senders list is empty by default so, in order to begin configuration you must add a new collection first. To add a new collection, click the 'Add' button.
After this you should be redirected to the newly added data configuration page.
