Setting Collection Status Features

When you run scheduled collections or live report templates, you can track the status of the report collection. The information is saved in a status file. The status file provides the following information on the collection status for every computer:

•

Success

•	Success with errors

•

Failures

Using the Configure utility, you can:

•	Set the directory path for the status file.

Use this feature if you want all status files from all computers to reside in a central location.

•	Set the maximum number of lines to display from the status file.

Depending on your network reports, the status file can be large. Use this feature to avoid displaying all the information in the listview.

•	Set the automatic removal of the status file.

By default, status files older than 30 days will be removed.
