File Analytics Advanced Parameters
The following advanced parameters apply to File Analytics data collection and can be added using:
Admin > Advanced > Parameters, described in Adding an Advanced Parameter. FA_CLEAN_UP_TEMPORARY_FILES
Valid Values: Y or N (case-insensitive)
This advanced parameter controls the deletion/retention of work files created by each File Analytics data collector. If the parameter is not configured, the default behavior is to clean up the temporary files.
AFS_PATH_EXCLUDE_DIRECTORY_NAME
Valid Values: Enter text to specify the directory to be excluded from data collection.
This advanced parameter can be used to exclude certain folders from File Analytics data collection. For example, you may not want to collect snapshot directories, as they contain copies of replicated folders. To exclude folders, take the following steps.
1. Add the advanced parameter, FA_CLEAN_UP_TEMPORARY_FILES, and set it to N. This will allow easier verification.
2. Add the advanced parameter, AFS_PATH_EXCLUDE_DIRECTORY_NAME, and for the value of the parameter, specify the directory to be excluded.
