System monitoring saves information about the performance of Spotfire Server and the services in the same database or files as the action logs.

System monitoring collects information at regular intervals.

• If you log to a database, to reduce the number of measurements in the database over time, measurements older than a specified amount of time are replaced with average, minimum, and maximum values for a given period of time. The general pruning for the database also affects the monitoring values.
• If you log to file, a file is created every day (the default), so no pruning or averaging is done, and you must manage the space needs of the files.
