    Plug-in binaries

    JAR file is unpacked automatically by your Tomcat

    		 <Automic>/External.Resources/apache-tomcat/webapp/awi/WEB-INF/autoinstall

  2. Open the configuration file <Automic>/config/webui-plugin-analytics/plugin.properties and check and adapt the settings.

    You can use the provided settings if you deploy Analytics as a single box installation.

    The configuration file and folders are automatically created when the plug-in is loaded for the first time.
