Insight ServerThe Insight server is a document-oriented database (Apache Lucene Solr) that is used for Reports. The Insight Server software is included in the tomcat bundle. The Insight Server works in conjunction with and a web app (insight.war embedded in frevvo.war) to retrieve the information for the reports. Here is how it works: 
- users initiate a form or a workflow process.
- The repository and the Insight server are updated with the information real time.
- The Insight service (insight.war) is a batch job that runs automatically on upgrade but can also be performed manually. The batch job takes the existing submissions and creates Solr documents for them.
- The Reports query the Insight Server.
| Tip |
|---|
Always use a fresh Insight instance for . Multiple databases should never point to the same Insight instance. |

When you unzip the tomcat bundle, you will see a new <frevvo-home>\solr-56.46.1 2 directory that contains the Insight Server software.

chmod +x solr
- Navigate back to the solr-6.6.2 directory.
- Start the Insight server by typing:
bin/solr start - this starts the Insight server in the background, listening on the default port 8983.

Enter these Arguments:
start -f -p 8983
- the -f option starts the Insight Server in the foreground so NSSM can kill it when it needs to be stopped or started
- the -p option specifies the port that the Insight Server is running on. The default is 8983. Change 8983 to the port number for your installation if necessary.
Optionally, click the Details tab to specify a Display Name and Description - Ex: Insight Server, Script to Stop/Start Solr5. Notice the Startup type is set to Automatic.
