Network Metrics
Contents
Exprodo SDM can keep information that tracks how long each network call took. This information can be turned on if you want to investigate network performance, but it should normally be left turned off.
The Network Metrics tab of the Global Preferences page provides the following:

If this is set to true, then network metrics will be kept, otherwise they will not. Note that by setting this to false, statistics that are already in the database will not be affected. Only new information will be affected by this setting. Enabling Network Metrics will slow down Exprodo SDM a little. |

Indicates how many network calls each web browser much make before sending its network metric information to the server. The larger this number is, the fewer network calls will be created as an overhead. However, larger numbers increase the greater the memory requirements and also increase the amount of data that will be lost when the user closes their browser. This is because outstanding information collected by the browser but not sent to the server is not sent when the browser it closed. |

This is the period of time between sending metrics to the server. This is only used during periods of low activity when you have some information to send to the server, but you are not active enough to reach the Number Of Network Calls Between Sending Metrics. |
If Network Metrics are enabled, the data will be stored in the database. In order to access the data use Search. Once in the Search page set the Search Biskit Type to Network Metric, as there could be a lot of information to be returned make sure Conditions... are used to set at least time limits for the information returned. For more information read the chapter on using Search.
