The amount of free disk space remaining on your PC for data
collection to the database.
■
The location of HTML reports.
From this dialog box, you can launch the following operations:
■
Create a new database to write data from the network to.
Unless you want to get rid of the contents of a database entirely, you
should always use the Clean Database application instead of deleting a
database and creating a new one.
You may already have a valid Traffix Manager 3.0 database and want
to purge it of data while
preserving discovered agents, topology
information, user-assigned attributes, event rules and report instances.
See
“Clean databases” on page 124 for more information.
■
Select an existing database (other than the database currently in use)
as the current database.
■
Copy, delete and move databases.
CAUTION: You should never move or copy a database using ordinary file
operations; for example, Windows NT Explorer. You should use the Move
Database and Copy Database features from the Traffix Control Panel
instead.
■
Change the location of the current destination of HTML reports.
■
Import Database. You can import a database that has been created by
either Traffix Manager 2.0 NT or the dbexport utility in Traffix Manager
2.0 (NT and UNIX).
