# Manual Configuration

Within the Ardexa Web App, the following section describes each of the utility tabs under the selected Device's`[CONFIGURATION]` tab:

`MENU:` **>** `[DEVICES]` **>** `(select device)` **>** `[CONFIGURATION]`

Configuration sets up those functions that are generally ongoing jobs you want the device to execute.

## GENERAL

`MENU: [DEVICES] > [CONFIGURATION] > [GENERAL] tab`

The default tab provided when you first arrive on the selected Device's `[CONFIGURATION]` component tab.

This view provides the identifiers for your device plus some administrative options:

* Enable/disable SFTP
* Restart the agent

## SCENARIOS

`MENU: [DEVICES] > [CONFIGURATION] > [SCENARIOS] tab`

This tab features different scenarios that reflect the underlying structure of the device metadata. Scenario types include: `Run`, `Capture, Watch`, `Unix socket`, `External`, `Dynamic Run`, and `Dynamic Capture`.

* The `Run` type allows you to execute commands against your device.
* The `Capture` type captures the mappings from your infrastructure source to the definitions in the Ardexa Device.   Essentially anything that appears in a log/text file.
* The `Watch` type is largely used for ongoing photo capture.  However, it can also be used for other telemetry purposes.
* The `Unix socket` type is like capture, but does not write to the disk, instead it generates a stream that writes to a socket. Further information on UNIX sockets is provided [**here**](https://docs.ardexa.com/knowledge/configure/ardexa-agent/scenarios/unix-socket)
* The `External` type is for Ardexa admin purposes. When we capture data on-behalf of the agent, for example a data source from a cloud service to allow data to be associated with cloud sourced data. 
* The `Dynamic Run` and `Dynamic Capture` types describe all of the Machine Plugin scenarios (Dynamic Run and Dynamic Tail) that the Ardexa agent is aware of on the device.  These scenarios are read-only.  See [Dynamic Configuration](https://docs.ardexa.com/knowledge/configure/ardexa-agent/dynamic-configuration) for more information. 

## RAW

`MENU: [DEVICES] > [CONFIGURATION] > [RAW] tab`
