At the first start of the IGEL UMS Console or the UMS Web App after the UMS installation, you are presented with a dialog offering to activate IGEL Insight Service. If you are not sure, you can skip this step to decide later; in this case, the dialog will be presented on each start of the UMS Console / the UMS Web App until the feature is accepted or declined.

IGEL Insight Service can be anytime activated or deactivated under UMS Console > UMS Administration > Global Configuration > UMS Features or under UMS Web App > Network > Settings > UMS Features.
