Here the configuration steps to discover an EUP Collector target on a Windows Computer target are described. The Backbone End-User Performance Management Pack uses an EUP Configuration file on every EUP Collector to configure the collected simulation instances.

Configure the EUP MP

Carry out the following steps to configure The Backbone End-User Performance Management Pack:

1. Create the EUP Collector Path on every system that should act as an EUP Collector. Ensure that the following access permissions apply:

- The Default Action Account of the Microsoft Monitoring Agent should have at least read and delete permissions

- The account used to run the simulation scripts and the Watcher Node account should have at least write-permissions

2. The Watcher Node account, running on the Watcher Node, will access the EUP Collector Path through a SMB share. Ensure that the following access permissions apply:

- The Watcher Node account has written permissions on the SMB share of the EUP Collector Path

3. Copy the received license file to the EUP Collector Path on each EUP Collector. The license file should have the name license.lic, rename the file if necessary

Note:   The default folder location for the EUP Collector Path is: 
        %PROGRAMFILES%\The Backbone\The Backbone End-User Performance MP\

        The default location of the EUP Collector Path can be changed by creating an override for the collector discovery. 

This option is explained under Changing the EUP Collector Path.

Create the management pack for overrides

The Backbone End-User Performance Management Pack is a sealed management pack and cannot be used to store overrides. Create an unsealed management pack to save overrides for The Backbone End-User Performance Management Pack. Follow the steps below to create the management pack for the overrides:

1. Open the Operations Console
2. Go to the Administration pane and choose Installed Management Packs

1. Select the action Create Management Pack to create a new management pack

1. Enter the name of the new management pack, for example The Backbone EUP Overrides
2. Press Next
3. Press Create

Enable the EUP MP

The EUP Collector discovery is disabled by default. To enable the EUP Collector discovery, an override needs to be created for a specific Windows Computer target or group of Windows Computer targets. Follow the steps below to enable The Backbone End-User Performance Management Pack on a specific Windows Computer target:

1. Open the Operations Console
2. Go to the Authoring pane 
3. In the Authoring pane, navigate to Management Pack Object -> Object Discoveries

1. Click on Scope in the toolbar 
2. Search and select The Backbone EUP Collector

1. Press OK
2. Select The Backbone EUP Collector Discovery object

1. Select Overrides -> Override the Object Discovery -> For a specific object of class: Windows Computer
2. Select the target that should act as EUP Collector

1. Enable an override for the parameter Enabled and set the override value to True
2. Select the management pack created earlier for overrides

1. Press the OK button to close the window.

If the license file has been placed in the application folder as described in the first steps of this page, the EUP Collector target should also appear as the license. This can take a period of time, ranging from a few minutes to a few hours.
