DataCentral

The TreeSize File Search can be connected to a central index server (SpaceObServer DataCentral). DataCentral continuously indexes metadata and full-text information from selected storage systems and stores the index in a central database on your premises. The TreeSize File Search can use this central index to perform fast, resource-efficient searches on the indexed shares.

Further information about DataCentral, its setup and configuration can be found in the DataCentral documentation.

The connection to DataCentral can be configured in the search options under “Options” > “DataCentral”.

Use a Central Index Server	Enables the use of a central index server. The connection to the server is configured using the following options.
Server Name / IP	The name of the central index server or an IP address can be entered here.
Port	Specifies the port used to communicate with the central index server. The default port is 5149.
Test connection	Verifies that the TreeSize File Search can reach the configured DataCentral service.

Server certificates (optional)

Connect to a server with a valid certificate only	Specifies that the connection to the index server can only be established with a valid certificate. This is the recommended, most secure option.
Connect to a server with this fingerprint only	Specifies that the connection to the index server can only be established using a specified fingerprint. The fingerprint can either be entered manually or requested from the server using the button to the right of the input field.
Accept any certificates	Specifies that the connection to the index server can be made using any certificate. This is the least secure option and is not recommended.

Note

The certificate settings can only be changed with administrative privileges. If the TreeSize File Search was not started as administrator, you can request elevation via the “Change settings” button.
