Enabling and Disabling Recorder Instances

Recorder provides a user with an option to control recording on their machine without interaction with Recording Service. In the Recorder menu in the system tray a user can Enable or Disable recording:

When Recorder is enabled

By default, Recorder instance is enabled on the machine right after the installation. When you start a recording from Recording Service UI, it receives information about user actions from Recorder instance, then processes them into logs.

When Recorder is disabled

A user may disable event recording by clicking Disable in the Recorder menu in the system tray. This will stop recording and block recording control on this instance via the Recording Service UI. The Recorder will still appear in the list of Recorders on the Recording Service with a status shown as online but even if you click Start and Refresh list it will not be set to recording.

In this case, to start or resume recording using the Recording Service interface, the user must first enable recording by clicking the Enable button in the Recorder menu in the system tray.

Important. When restarting a machine, Recorder is enabled automatically regardless of the previously selected option.
