Step two: Adding caches to the cache group

What a cache is  

In ContentReporter, a cache is a device that generates the log files that the ContentReporter server collects/imports and processes. ContentReporter can collect/import and process NetCache^TM appliance log files, Web server log files, and streaming server log files. Adding one or more caches to a cache group is the second step in the process of setting up log file collection.

Rules for adding caches  

You must follow these rules when adding caches to a cache group:

• Each cache must have a unique name in ContentReporter. If you attempt to add a cache with the name of another cache, ContentReporter prompts you to enter a different name.
• For every 1 GB of log data you collect and process, ContentReporter needs 2 GB of temporary space in the stored log file directory during the collection and processing event.

Where you add caches  

You can add caches from the New Cache window and from the Auto Discovery window.
