Configuring Advanced Settings

Advanced settings allow the administrator to fine-tune the data collected by RAS Reporting and define for how long this data is retained before it is purged.

In the RAS Console, navigate to Administration / Reporting. On the Reporting tab, click the Tracking Settings button. The Advanced Setting dialog opens.

In the Session Information section, configure the following options:

• Enable Tracking. Records sessions data (affects all reports except Server Reports).
• Retain information for. Specify the period session information is retained for before purged.

In the Server Counters Information section, configure the following:

• Enable Tracking. Records server counter data (affects Server Reports only).
• Retain information for. Specify the period server counters information is retained for before purged.
• Track CPU / Memory counter when change is more than. Set the minimum CPU/Memory resource usage required to record data.
• The Custom reports section is used to enable custom reports in the Parallels RAS Console. Select the Enable custom reports option and specify a folder name where custom reports will be stored (or use the default "Custom reports" name). Note that this is a virtual folder located on the SQL Server Reporting Services side, so you need to specify just a name (not a traditional path). You will see the folder in the Parallels RAS Console in the Reporting category together with other (predefined) folders that contain reports. For more information about custom reports, please see the Parallels RAS Reporting Guide, which can be downloaded from the Parallels website: https://www.parallels.com/products/ras/resources/
