Adding caches to the cache group

Adding a cache to collect from a directory

About collecting from a directory

You can configure ContentReporter to collect log files from a directory, such as a local or mapped drive folder, that is accessible to the ContentReporter service's login user account.

By default, the ContentReporter service uses the Local System Account, and automatically starts when the system starts up. If you want to access network resources such as mapped drives, you can assign a login user account to the ContentReporter service. See Appendix B, Learning about the login user account.

Collecting from a directory

To add a cache to collect and process log files from a directory, complete the following steps.

Step	Action
1	From a page in ContentReporter, click the Administration tab.
2	From the Administration page, click the Admin button.
3	From the Cache Group tab, select a cache group in the left-hand panel, then click New Cache.
4	From the New Cache window, enter a name for the log file source, click the "Collect from imported directory" button, and click Browse.
5	Browse to the location of the saved log files, then double-click the directory. Result: You return to the New Cache window, and the location of the saved log files appears in the Import log files directory field.

7	If you want to delete the log files after processing, select the appropriate check box.
8	Accept the default number of error lines (200), or enter another number. If you do not want the number of error lines in a log file to stop the ContentReporter server from processing, enter the number 0.
9	Click OK. Result: You return to the Cache Group tab and the cache appears under the cache group in the left-hand panel.
10	Click Apply or OK to save the changes to the ContentReporter server. Result: You successfully added a cache to collect and process log files from a directory.
