# Edit Site Admin Configuration Settings

The first time that you log on to Site Admin, the Settings Wizard guides you through the setup process. In subsequent sessions, you can use the Settings page to edit the Site Admin configuration file.

The Settings page enables you to carry out the following configuration tasks:

- Specify the connection type, host, and port information for the Coordinator server that Site Admin is deployed against.
- Specify the connection type, host, port, and logon type information for the Community component that handles Site Admin user authentication.

- Choose whether you want to run Site Admin with an embedded database or a PostgreSQL database.

- Specify the host, port, database, and logon information for the PostgreSQL database that Site Admin uses for structured data storage.
- Configure a mail server to use to send email from Site Admin.
- Enable or disable email.
- Specify the amount of time for which alerts and tasks should display in the Site Admin interface.
- Specify the language in which the Site Admin interface should display.

- Specify the method used to compress log files, the number of historic log files to retain, the frequency with which new log files are created, and the maximum log file size. You can also specify the host and port information for your syslog server, send a test message to your syslog server, and switch syslog integration and Site Admin logging off or on.

  NOTE: If you disable logging, Site Admin first logs that logging has been disabled and by whom.

- Set the default path for Site Admin to use to locate Knowledge Discovery services on a host.
- Set the default port for Site Admin to use to locate a Controller on a host.
- Specify the host, port, database, and logon information for the PostgreSQL database that Site Admin uses for document tracking, and enable or disable document tracking.
- Test your database and server connections.

Click a heading to open or close the sections on the page.

Site Admin validates any changes to your server settings, and prompts you to correct any information that is not valid before you can save your settings.
