Getting Started

After you launched ILA, if you are in remote mode, you need to setup its initial configuration.
ILA uses an external database to operate, so you need to configure the connection to the database.
Databases supported are MySQL, MS SQL Server and MS Access so you need to choose between these databases.
If you are using MySQL or MS SQL Server you need to create the database on you server and set the rights to let ILA access the database.
Now you need to configure the database connection.

config_database

Select the database you want to use

db_type

and click the "Built-in DSN wizard" button.

A window opens and you must type in the database connection parameters.

Press the "Test" button to verify if the connection can be established.

Press "OK" to close and confirm the parameters typed.
Press the "Create tables" button in order to create tables that ILA needs to store log data.
If you experience any problem during this step, it may be that your database rights are not enough to create tables, check with your database administrator for the solution.
If you use MySQL, read at MySQL troubleshooting.

NOTE: You can use wildcards * or % in the fields where you enter strings to (e. g. FROM IP, FROM username, FROM domain, TO username, TO account, ...).

For example, in the From domain field you can use icewarp.* – you will see logs for all icewarp domains (icewarp.com, icewarp.net, etc.).
