# How to Change the Location of the Express Agent's Database and Log Files

<!-- SME REVIEW NEEDED: This article is thin. The source KB body only had the config snippet below, though the original had broken screenshot attachments suggesting a fuller procedure (stop service, back up file, edit, restart service, verify log). Please decide:
1. EXPAND — add an Overview section and full numbered steps (prerequisites, exact service name, verification step)
2. RETIRE — if this doesn't warrant a standalone KB
-->

## Instructions

1. Change the Express Agent's database and log files location by editing the `ConfigPath` switch in `expressAgent.ini`:

```ini
[ExpressAgent]
ConfigPath=/var/nnt/expressagent/
```

2. Set the `ConfigPath` value to the desired directory where the Express Agent should store its database and log files.

# Why Am I Receiving FileAccessed Events in Change Tracker?

## Overview

This article describes why you are receiving File Access events in Netwrix Change Tracker, what they are, and how to disable or enable them.

The `fileaccessed` event is a read operation for the file shown in the details. This does not mean someone changed the file — it simply means the file was accessed (or read), whether by a person or software. Think of it as someone opening a Word document. If you were tracking that, you would see the same notification for the Word document simply being opened.

<!-- Image removed: Screenshot showing a fileaccessed event in Netwrix Change Tracker -->

## How to Enable or Disable FileAccessed Events

These events are controlled from a **Policy Template** applied to a device group — devices in the group inherit the template's settings.

> **NOTE:** When you update a policy template, the agent does a re-baseline of the files within the defined parameters. Changes to the files are not visible until after the baseline is completed. A baseline typically takes about 15-20 minutes to complete on a Windows device. If you are testing a change to this folder, wait about 30 minutes after saving the template so the agent has time to complete its baseline process.

### Disabling File Access Events

To disable file access events:

1. Go to the **Settings Tile** > Click on the **Policy Templates** Navigation button to the left.
2. Find the Policy Template that you want to use for these event types, or create a new one by pressing the **Create a Template** button.
3. Click the **Edit** button on the template you want to modify.
4. For the desired path, locate the **Tracked Attributes** column. Click the **Edit** button and change this to `File Attributes – Excluding contents only`.
5. Click **Save Changes** at the top of the page.
6. If this is a new template, apply it to the group of devices by going to **Settings** > **Device Groups** > Select the group > **Policy Templates** > **Add a template**.

### Enabling File Access Events

To enable file access events:

1. Go to the **Settings Tile** > Click on the **Policy Templates** Navigation button to the left.
2. Find the Policy Template that you want to use for these event types, or create a new one by pressing the **Create a Template** button.
3. Click the **Edit** button on the template you want to modify.
4. For the desired path, locate the **Tracked Attributes** column. Click the **Edit** button and change this to `All file and folder attributes excluding contents`.
5. Click **Save Changes** at the top of the page.
6. If this is a new template, apply it to the group of devices by going to **Settings** > **Device Groups** > Select the group > **Policy Templates** > **Add a template**.

title: "MongoDB Log Fix: Out of Memory"

Explains how to resolve MongoDB "out of memory" errors by configuring Windows
virtual memory (page file) to System managed so the Netwrix Change Tracker
database and Hub Server can function properly.

# MongoDB Log Fix: Out of Memory

## Symptom

The MongoDB service crashes with an out of memory error. An example log entry:

```text
2017-10-27T10:23:48.348-0400 F - [conn3080] out of memory.
```

## Cause

The MongoDB service crashed because the system ran out of physical and virtual memory. Typically, this is due to misconfigured Page File settings.

## Resolution

If you are receiving this error, the Netwrix Change Tracker database and Hub Server are NOT functioning. This is a critical error and monitoring cannot continue until it is resolved. To resolve this error:

1. Open **Run** by pressing the `Windows+R` keys on your keyboard.
2. Type `SYSDM.CPL` and press **Enter**.
3. This opens **Advanced System Settings**. Click on the **Advanced** tab.
4. Under Performance, click **Settings...**.
5. In the Performance Options menu, click the **Advanced** tab.
6. Under Virtual Memory, click **Change**.
7. Verify that Virtual Memory is set to **System managed**.

<!-- Image removed: Screenshot of the Virtual Memory dialog showing System managed size option -->

8. If it is not set to **System managed**, configure it by selecting the **System managed size** radio button.
9. Click **OK**.
10. In some scenarios, it may be best to reboot the server.

> **NOTE:** MongoDB reserves as much memory as it can and stores queries in the page file for quick access. When the page file is not set to system managed, it can hit its size limit and crash MongoDB. System managed sizing lets Windows expand the page file as needed.

# How to Fix: Mongodump Binary Does Not Exist in Specified Location Error

## Symptom

When exporting a database in Netwrix Change Tracker, you receive the following error:

```text
Mongodump binary does not exist in specified location
```

<!-- Image removed: Screenshot of the mongodump binary error message -->

## Cause

The `MongoDumpPath` configuration setting is missing or points to the wrong location. Netwrix Change Tracker uses this setting to locate the mongodump binary when exporting a database.

## Resolution

1. Open **Settings**.
2. In the sidebar, click **System Settings**.
3. Scroll down and click **Show Advanced Options**.
4. Scroll down until you see **Configuration Settings**.
5. In **Configuration Settings**, click **Add Config Item**.
6. In the **Description** box, type `MongoDumpPath`.
7. In the **Value** box, enter the MongoDump path. Example: `C:\Program Files\NNT Change Tracker Suite\Gen7\MongoDB\bin\mongodump.exe`

> **NOTE:** Be sure to change the drive path depending on where you have MongoDB installed.

8. Click the **Update** button to save this information.
