Multi-server configuration
In all VDG Sense 2.6.9 and before the sub-servers connect to the database on the management server. This connection was automatically done by configuring the management server address on the sub servers. With VDG Sense 2.6.10 this behaviour has changed and the database configuration has to be done seperately per sub server.
IMPORTANT: If this is not done, In a Cluster configuration events are NOT always stored in on the central / management Management server database. Which means they cannot be searched for as VDG Sense expects events to be stored in the central database.
IMPORTANT: If the Database host is not set to Management server it is not possible to use License Plate matching for cameras on the cluster servers.
