## Registering NetMirror as a service

**Important**: by default NetMirror software does not register as a service in your application server VM and if you restart your application server VM. NetMirror process wont start automatically and you will be required to start it manually. If you wish to setup NetMirror process as a service to start every time you restart your application server VM, follow the below steps to register NetMirror as a service.

Go to **"cd /usr/local/thoughtdata/netsense/bin"** directory and run the script **"./register_service.sh netmirror"**.
