I tried to capture manifests and settings by following this post (https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/articles/360057025934-Capturing-and-Substituting-Manifests-and-Settings), and I am unable to find the "vms_server_plugins.ini" by even searching through the entire disk.

root@ssid:/# find / -name "vms_server_plugins.ini"
root@ssid:/#

  Hello James,

  You should create this file in the nx_ini folder first. Just touch an empty file, the Server will populate it with default values.

  See this section of the manual for details where nx_ini folder should be created.

  Hi Andrey,

  The "$HOME/.config/nx_ini/" and "/etc/nx_ini/" specified in the provided manual do not exist in my box.

  root@ssid:/etc# ls ~/.config/nx_ini
  ls: cannot access '/root/.config/nx_ini': No such file or directory
  root@ssid:/etc# ls /etc/nx_ini
  ls: cannot access '/etc/nx_ini': No such file or directory

  So I manually created both paths and touched an empty "vms_server_plugins.ini" in both paths then restarted networkoptix-metavms-mediaserver service. However, both vms_server_plugins.ini remains empty after VMS got restarted.

  root@ssid:/etc/nx_ini# cat ~/.config/nx_ini/vms_server_plugins.ini
  root@ssid:/etc/nx_ini# cat /etc/nx_ini/vms_server_plugins.ini 
  root@ssid:/etc/nx_ini#
