Optimize Log Database Size Screen

This installer screen appears if Log Server is selected for installation.

The options on this screen allow you to control the size of the Log Database, which can grow quite large. Select either or both of the following options and then click Next.

Log web page visits: Enable this option to log one record (or a few records) with combined hits and bandwidth data for each web page requested rather than a record for each separate file included in the web page request. This results in fewer records and therefore smaller databases, allowing for potentially faster report generation and longer storage capacities.

Deselect this option to log a record of each separate file that is part of a web page request, including images and advertisements. This results in more precise reports, but creates a much larger database and causes reports to generate more slowly.

Consolidate requests: Enable this option to combine Internet requests that share the same value for all of the following elements, within a certain interval of time (1 minute, by default):

• Domain name (for example: www.forcepoint.com)
• Category
• Keyword
• Action (for example: Category Blocked)
• User/workstation
