A Report Service Configuration Properties

You can tune the report service retention periods or disable the report service to improve performance.

The following information is covered:

• Default Retention Periods

• Edit Report Service Properties

• Disable the Report Service

A.1 Default Retention Periods

The report service writes to the database every 1000 samples and retains the information for a defined amount of time.

The following are the default retention periods:

• Daily samples (collected every 5 minutes): 5 days (repsvc.daily-samples-retention-days)

• 1 hour samples (weighted average of daily samples for one hour): 21 days (repsvc.1hour-samples-retention-days)

• 12 hour samples (weighted average of daily samples for 12 hours): 42 days (repsvc.12hours-samples-retention-days)

• 24 hour samples (weighted average of daily samples for 24 hours): 180 days (repsvc.24hours-samples-retention-days)

You can tune the report service to write to the database of samples. By default a write is made every 1000 samples. For larger deployments, you might want to increase the number from 1000 samples to a larger sample size.

A.2 Edit Report Service Properties

You can configure the retention periods to change the number of days that data is retained, or you can disable the roll up of data.

Perform the following steps to disable the report service:

1. Expand Administration in the Navigation pane.

2. Select the Enterprise Controller.

3. Click the Configuration tab.

4. Select Report Service from the Subsystem menu.

5. You can edit the following property values:

   • To edit the number of days that data is retained, edit the number in the Value field for the sample-retention-days properties.

   • To increase the sample size, edit the number in the epsvc.saves-bt-commits field. Larger deployments might want to increase the sample size from the default size of 1000.

   • To disable the roll up of data, set the 1 hour samples, 12 hour samples, and 24 hour samples retention times to 0.

6. Click Save to save your changes.
