Dell InsightIQ 4.3.0.0 Administration Guide

Configure File System Analytics (FSA) job settings

Configure settings for the InsightIQ File System Analytics (FSA) job.

1. In the InsightIQ web application, click the Settings tab.
2. Click Monitored Clusters on the Settings ribbon.

   The Monitored Clusters view appears and shows a list of all clusters that InsightIQ is configured to monitor.

3. In the Actions column of the cluster that you want configure, click Configure.
   The Cluster Credentials view appears.
4. Click the FSA Configuration tab.

   The Job Settings view appears and shows the current File System Analytics settings for the monitored cluster.

5. To configure the Result Set Options settings, perform the following steps.
   1. In the Directory chart maximum depth field, type an integer that represents the maximum depth of the directories that you want InsightIQ to analyze.

      To specify an unlimited depth, type -1.

   2. In the File/directory list size field, type an integer that represents the maximum number of top-contributing files and directories to include in File System Analytics reports.
   3. In the Path squash depth field, type an integer that represents the maximum number of directory levels to include in a path in the /ifs directory.

      For example, if the Path squash depth value is 3, the path /ifs/corp/marketing/archive is represented as /ifs/corp/marketing, and all sub-directories of marketing are treated as part of marketing.

   4. To generate FSA results sets from snapshots on the monitored cluster, select the Take snapshot checkbox.
      The default setting is unselected, which generates FSA result sets directly from the cluster.
6. To configure the Result Set Retention settings, perform the following steps.
   1. In the Maximum result set age in days field, type an integer that represents, in days, how long to retain each result set before automatically deleting it.

      This setting prevents result sets older than the specified number of days from being retained. It also removes result sets that are older than the specified age. Pinned result sets are not deleted, even if they are older than the specified setting.

      To retain result sets indefinitely, type 0. You can manually delete a result set at any time.

   2. In the Maximum result set count field, type the maximum number of result sets to retain.

      To retain unlimited result sets, type a number between 1 and 99. You can manually delete a result set at any time.

7. Click Submit.
