You are prompted to provide the account details under which the Acquire service will run.
This can be either the Local System account (the recommended default, as shown) or a
user-specified account.
Figure 1. The Windows Acquire Account dialog (default Account)
If you install the Windows Acquire service under an ordinary local user rather than under
the Local System account, be aware that:
-
Agentless (WMI) data capture may be very difficult because of the additional security configuration that will be required;
-
You will not be able to capture performance data from Oracle.
However, if you want Acquire to run under a named account other than the Local System account:
- Select the This Account option.
- Enter the account details: account name, domain, password and confirmation of password.
- Click Next.
