Persistent Storage

You must access the aspera.conf file on your system to configure persistent storage.

You can find the aspera.conf file at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspera\Enterprise Server\etc\aspera.conf

By default, persistent storage is disabled (not set). In aspera.conf, create the <central_server> section (if it does not already exist) and within it, set <persistent_store> to enable as in the following:

<central_server>
    <persistent_store>enable</persistent_store>
</central_server>

This allows the Aspera Central service to retain historical transfer data used by the stats collector.

For this change to take effect, you must restart asperacentral and asperanoded. You can restart these services in Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services. In the list of services, right-click Aspera Central and Aspera NodeD and select Restart.
