# Site Collectors Setup

For on-premises systems, such as Active Directory, where servers are physically located on your premises, you need to set up site collectors to facilitate accessing data sources. A site collector is a virtual appliance.

After you set up a site collector, you enter its name when you set up certain on-premises data sources. This is described in the section [*On-Prem Data Sources*](/technical-documentation/admin-guides/epiphany-intelligence-platform-administrator-guide/administration/source-management/on-prem-data-sources.md).

## **Adding a New Site Collector**

1. In the left navigation menu, expand **Source Management** and then select **Configuration.**<br>

2. Select **New** **Collector**.
3. Enter the **Name** of the site collector. You can name it anything meaningful. You will use the name when you set up an on-premises data source. This is a required field. <br>

4. In **Site**, enter the location of the collector. This can be a physical location. You can set up a collector that collects data in only one location instead of your entire wide area network. This is a required field.
5. Optionally, enter any **Notes**.
6. Click **Save**.
7. At the top of the Site Collectors pane, expand **Select a Collection Time** and select the time you want collections to occur. This is the time each day that Epiphany will run your data collection.\

You can also use the Delete item in the Actions drop-down to delete site collectors you're no longer using. The other items in the Actions  drop-down are used when setting up data sources, They are described in detail in the instructions for setting up specific data sources in the [*Data Sources*](/technical-documentation/data-sources.md) section.&#x20;
