About this task

You can use the following configuration methods to reduce the volume of data available for capture into dimensions.

All high-volume dimensions should have their values that are normalized by one of the following methods:

Procedure

Use a session agent such as Discover Reference session agent to normalize values in the Windows™ pipeline.
Note: The Discover Reference session agent is deployed into the default Windows pipeline, and the raw values for URL, Host, App, and Server dimensions are normalized. The values that are captured for these values are normalized by default. See "Discover Reference Session Agent" in the Unica Discover Configuration Manual.
Create a whitelist to normalize values to useful data for reporting purposes.

Results

Depending on how you define your dimensions and manipulate captured data, you can significantly reduce the volume of data that is captured for individual dimensions.
