IGEL Insight Service
IGEL Insight Service is activated by default after a Universal Management Suite (UMS) installation. After the installation, at the first start of the IGEL UMS Console or the UMS Web App, you are presented with a dialog with information on the IGEL Insight Service. If you want to deactivate the IGEL Insight Service, click Go to Settings and disable it under Disable Insight Service. If you close the dialog, IGEL Insight Service remains activated.
IGEL Insight Service can be activated or deactivated anytime under UMS Console > UMS Administration > Global Configuration > UMS Features or under UMS Web App > Network > Settings > UMS Features. The configuration of the IGEL Insight Service is preserved in case of an update installation.
