Change NTA Flow Storage Database location

muaddib

During installation of our NTA application. The location (ServerName.Domain.com) of the NTA Database server was misconfigured. So now when in the solarwinds web console no netflow comes back and we get an error for "DNS is not configured for Server.domain.com".  Is there a place where I can fix this without having to reinstall?

Thank you for your time.

If I'm understanding you correctly you need to point your Orion NTA integration at the correct NTA Database?  That isn't going to require a full re-install, but you are going to need to run the NTA installer from the Orion server to update the Database location.  The detailed instructions are at the bottom of this KB:
