Administering Usage Tracking

The Siebel Analytics Server supports the accumulation of usage tracking statistics, which capture valuable information about users, performance, and so on, that can be used in a variety of ways—for example, database optimization, aggregation strategies, or billing users or departments based on the resources they consume. The Siebel Analytics Server tracks usage at the detailed query level.

When usage tracking is enabled, statistics for every query are written to a usage tracking log file. User-defined intervals control the frequency at which the data is written to disk and control new usage tracking log files created. (See Siebel Analytics Installation and Configuration Guide for details.)

This section describes the usage tracking system and includes information about selecting a location for usage tracking log files, file naming conventions, format of the log file, and performance considerations.

Because there is no limit to the number or size of the usage tracking log files, it is important to consider how these files will be handled before enabling usage tracking.
