Analysis and Report Limits

Limits on analysis and reports prevent long-running queries.

Examples include:

  • Analytics row limits

  • Query time limits

  • Report Memory Guard limits

Note that when you're reporting on HTML content, for example, Message Body of an SR Message is a report column, you can observe that HTML tags are displayed in the report, in addition to the desired content. In order to display the content correctly without the tags, set the Column Properties > Data Format to Treat Text as HTML for the column. Select Save as the system-wide default for that particular column (not the default for this data type). Once you do this, any time a report is created that contains this column, it will automatically display HTML content correctly.

Note:

When you export data in a CSV format, dates are exported in raw format and converted to UTC time zone.

This table describes the limits that constrain queries.

Dashboard

Rows Exported - Excel/PDF - Per View - Export On Demand

For tables, pivot tables and trellis views, if the view is set to "Fixed headers with scrolling content", rows visible on the dashboard are exported, and no more. For example, if a table is showing five rows before scrolling, five rows are exported, even if the table has more rows.

If the view is set to "Fixed headers with scrolling content", an export of the number of rows specified in the view's "Rows Per Page" parameter is attempted. This setting doesn't override other row or cell limits, so setting this to a very high row limit only guarantees the standard view's export limits are honored when exporting from a dashboard. The "Rows Per Page" setting can be higher than the actual limit of rows that can be viewed per page in Analytics Answers. Even if the higher row limit doesn't apply at runtime, it applies at export. For example, if the table limit is 500 rows per page, but you set it to 25,000, an attempt is made to export 25,000 rows.

Free memory threshold

Minimum value for free JVM space. If the report data size exceeds the threshold, then the report is paused to wait for free memory to become available. The report waits for the time specified in the property Maximum Wait Time for Free Memory to Come Back Above Threshold Value. If the free memory doesn't rise back above the minimum in the wait period specified, the report request is rejected.

Memory Guard

Maximum report data size under the free memory threshold

Maximum single report data size allowed when free JVM memory is under the specified threshold value set in Free memory threshold. For example, assuming the default setting of 500MB, if the data generated for a single report exceeds one-tenth of the value set for Free memory threshold, or 50MB, then processing is terminated.

Memory Guard

Maximum Wait Time for Free Memory to Come Back Above the Threshold

Maximum time in seconds that a request to run a report waits for free JVM memory to exceed the threshold value. If the free memory becomes available within the time specified, the request proceeds immediately. If free memory is still below the threshold value after the time specified, the request is rejected. For online requests, the larger this property value, the longer the browser will wait for a request to run.
