Introduction

As more complex features of Insights are being built there is a need to store files associated with every feature. We agreed on one common standard approach for storing and fetching the files using PostgreSQL database. We are providing Configuration File Management screen to store and maintain all the configuration files in the databasebeing supported in Insights product, it has become challenging to configure various configuration files on file system. To mitigate this, Insights has started supporting configuration management through UI. Since v7.4 release, Insights have moved all configuration(Correlation, Traceability, Bulk Upload, Tool Detail, Audit etc) files to database for easier management. Correlation, Traceability, Bulk Upload, Data enrichment WILL NOT work without files being uploaded in DB through UI.
