Configuration file location
The Server module is configured in a single file named config.xml that can be found in WEB-INF/classes/conf/config.xml file into the nodecollector war.

Important considerations
- Your installed tomcat should have a $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/server.xml with the database connection values. The resourceName should match with the dbDataSource value. Please refer to a common server.xml configuration in the last part of this page. The mysql-connector-java-$version.jar should also be copied into the $TOMCAT_HOME/lib folder.
- The eventSinkAddress must never be configured as localhost. Always must contain the domain name or IP address of the server. This is necessary because this value will be sent to the Nodes/Hypervisors to let they know where to send the subscribed events (power on , power off, ...). If this value is set to localhost the nodes will send the event to themselves.
- Configure the bpmMonitorAddress according to its location.
- Configure the applianceManagerAddress according to its location.
- Don't forget to configure the mail server according with its configuration.
- We strongly recommend to leave the rest of configuration files like the default config.xml file.
