Report Agent Configuration

The following table explains what information you need to provide and gives recommendations:

Information	Description	Recommendation
Select Report Schedule	Lets you specify when the Report Agent sends snapshots of the database to the Distribution Server.	We recommend that you do not schedule the Report Agent to send snapshots at times when there is a heavy drain on system resources.
Audit Routing Configuration	Lets you specify to keep time-stamped backups of the audit log file. Note: This option displays only if you chose to install Audit Routing on the Select Features page.	Make sure you select to keep time-stamped backups of your audit log file. This is the default setting and is required to ensure that all audit records can be read by the Report Agent. CA ControlMinder overwrites the backup audit log files when they reach 50 files. If this is not suitable, you should edit the audit_max_files token in the logmgr registry subkey to a value suitable to your enterprise.
