System Settings

After you install and license Server components, if you select Configure Server now on the last page of the installation, the System Settings window automatically opens. If the window doesn't open automatically, select the Alteryx System Settings shortcut icon on your desktop. You can also access System Settings in Designer under Options > Advanced Options > System Settings.

From System Settings, you can configure your Server instances to be a single or multiple-machine configuration. Go to Configure Controller and Workers for more info on single or multiple-machine configuration.

System Settings contains configuration options for the following components: Environment, Controller, Worker, Server UI, Engine, and DCM.

Configuration Changes Log

Server logs configuration changes made by admins with access to the Alteryx Server's host machines.

When an admin updates System Settings and confirms the changes by selecting the final Confirm button, the details are recorded in a flat log file. This log is stored on the same machine as the Runtime Settings file at C:\ProgramData\Alteryx.

Access to this log file is restricted to Windows accounts with administrative permissions.
