   • (On Windows) As an administrator, navigate to the truesightpserver\modules\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes folder
     
   • (On Linux) As a non-root user, navigate to the truesightpserver/modules/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes folder

2. Edit the following i18N files using a text editor based on your locale requirement:

   • English: en.json
   • German: de.json
   • Chinese: zh.json
     
     

   Default Footer text (English)

   "core.footer.line1": "This is a customizable TrueSight console footer.",
   "core.footer.line2": "To customize the footer text, see the Customizing TrueSight console footer topic in the online documentation."

   Notes

   - Do not modify or remove the keys core.footer.line1 and core.footer.line2.

   - If the text length exceeds the width of the page, the text beyond the view is hidden with an ellipsis.

   - If you want to insert a \ (backward slash) or display the double-quotes in the footer, do the following:

   - For inserting a \ character, you must insert the \ twice. For example, to display C:\Program Files in the footer, you must type it as C:\\Program Files. The footer text is displayed as C:\Program Files.

   - For inserting the double-quotes character, you must insert a single \ character before the double-quotes. For example, to display A quick brown fox within quotes, you must type the text as \"A quick brown fox.\" The text is displayed as "A quick brown fox."

   Sample updated footer in English
