Assign the location on your server for where statistics logs are sent to using the Statistics Setup applet in Control Panel. Statistics logs are recorded from different areas of iSAMS, such as the Parent Portal, and sent to the specified destination on your server. Set the location of statistics logs as you set up iSAMS so that you can easily find and view the logs on your server when undergoing system maintenance. You can also enable parsing of logs from areas of iSAMS.
The Statistics Setup applet is split into two tabs:
- Legacy Setup. Change the directory path for statistics logs.
- Service Setup. Enable log parsing for areas of iSAMS.
Legacy Setup
Use the Legacy Setup tab to change the destination of the statistics logs to another location on your server. The statistics logs are useful for when you or another user with administrative privileges wish to run system performance checks. Specify a location on your server during set up of iSAMS to access the statistics logs.
To change the directory locations for your statistics logs, follow the steps below:
- Select the Statistics Setup applet from Control Panel.
The Statistics Setup screen is displayed with two tabs at the top of the screen:
- Select the Legacy Setup tab. An example of the options available in the Legacy Setup screen is displayed below:
