Configure Elicit

As you will see, LiveDC utilizes data from all types of sources. Since LiveDC is a platform hosted in the cloud, it requires an onsite collection device we refer to as Elicit. Elicit is a local application that collects data on an ongoing basis and securely pushes the data up to the LiveDC platform. Elicit comes in two ways: 1) application that resides on a virtual server (Windows or Linux); 2) small appliance to be plugged into the network.

Below are the configuration instructions for the application version of Elicit.
