Configuration Tool Overview

The Event Requestor Service is configured in the Emplifi System Manager.

Computer Name: This shows you the machine on which the service is running (and also the machine whose configuration settings you are modifying). This tool is capable of remotely administering an Event Requestor service that is running on another machine. To switch to another machine, click the Change... button to the right of the field.
Service State: This field indicates whether the service is Running or Stopped on the current machine. Use the button to the right of this field to stop or start the service.

General Tab

The General tab contains basic settings that effect the running of the service.
