InsightCM stores data in both a central database and as files on disk. By default, data is automatically moved from the Database to the Data directory after 30 days. This archiving process results in better performance by decreasing memory used by the InsightCM database and more uniform load time for viewing data in the Data Viewer. The archived data can still be accessed in the Data Viewer. By default, the following directories are used:
-
Database Directory: C:\ProgramData\Cutsforth\InsightCM\MongoDB
-
Data Directory: C:\ProgramData\Cutsforth\InsightCM\Files
For optimal performance, Cutsforth recommends using separate SSDs for each data directory. Custom directory locations can be specified when installing InsightCM.
