Enabling URL, host, app, server dimensions
About this task
When Discover is
initially installed or upgraded, these dimensions are pre-defined
for you. In order to enable the capture of values to them, extra configuration
may be required.
To enable Discover-provided dimensions:
Procedure
- Before you begin, you must deploy the Discover Reference session agent in your pipeline.
- See "Discover Reference
Session Agent" in the Unica Discover Configuration Manual.
- For more information about configuring pipelines, see "Manage Services Pipeline Editor" in the
Unica Discover Administration
Manual.
- When the Discover Reference
session agent was deployed and configured, you must enable the logging
of values for these dimensions:
- In the Dimensions tab, select the
URL/Host/App/Server
report
group in the left panel. Repeat the following steps for each dimension:
- Right-click one of the dimensions and select Edit Dimension....
- In the Edit Dimension dialog, check whether logging of reference
values was enabled.
- If the Turn Off Logging button is displayed,
logging for the selected dimension is enabled.
- Otherwise, click Turn On Logging to enable
logging of reference values for the dimension.
- When logging is enabled, the Logging Values date stamp indicates
that values is logged for the dimension until the listed date.
- This date stamp corresponds to the current date plus the number of days that reference log
values are retained in the database. For more
information about configuring data retention settings,
see "Settings" in the Unica Discover
Administration Manual.
- Click Save Draft.
- Repeat the above steps for the other three dimensions.
- When you saved drafts that enable logging for all four Discover dimensions, you must
save the changes to the server. In the Dimensions tab, click Save
Changes.
- Logging of the values for the Discover reference dimensions was now enabled.
- In most cases, a sufficient cross-sample of these values is accumulated
in the database within 24 hours.
- These values are extracted from the capture stream, which is converted
into SQL, and submitted to the database once per hour. After initially
enabling the logging of these values, you should wait at least an
hour before continuing with the following steps.
- After at least one hour was elapsed since logging was
enabled, you can add values to each dimension from the logged reference
values.
