Setting MessageStats Server Properties

Configuring the MessageStats Server

The server on which you installed the MessageStats Scheduler Service is called the MessageStats Server. You might also install the MMC-based client console and task processors on the same server. In the treeview, the MessageStats Server is the child node of the root.

The properties tabs associated with the MessageStats Server contain the settings for the MessageStats database, the service (application) logs, and the IIS server on which the MessageStats web-based reports are installed.

The following MessageStats Server properties tabs are available:

Specifying the MessageStats Database Settings

The Database tab displays the MessageStats database location, the timeout settings, and the maximum number of database records per database update.

 

Configuring Service Logging

MessageStats creates log entries during several processes. You can set scheduler service logging to record the activity of the scheduler service on the MessageStats server.

These logs can help diagnose problems. If you contact Quest Support for assistance, you may be asked to enable or change the logging level of these logs to assist in resolving your problem.

You can also set logging at the task level, using the Task Logging tab.

You can define the logging level for your service logs. The following log levels are available, from the most detailed to the least detailed:

It is recommended that you periodically remove obsolete logs. In general, retaining one month of service logs should be sufficient for most enterprises.

The configuration for service logs does not apply to the QMSCompress.log files. The compression logs are external to the MessageStats product. The Gathering Status report includes Errors and Warning details regardless of the detail level that you selected on the General tab.
