Request Settings

The Request Settings page lets you modify various elements relating to the capture, storage and display of Request information. The page has the following items:

 

Request Formatting:

URL Format

This option changes how URLs are displayed throughout FusionReactor. "Full" includes the hostname, while "Short" just shows the path. Select "Full" if you are dealing with servers which host multiple websites.

 

Request Logging:

Request Logging

If Request Logging is enabled then requests will be written to the Request Log as they arrive and complete.

View Size (KB)

This value indicates how much of the log file should be displayed when you view the Request Log from inside FusionReactor.

File Size (KB)

Specifies the size of each file in the Request Log rotating file set.

File Count

Specifies the number of files in the Request Log rotating file set.

 

Request Content Capture:

Request Capture

Activating this option instructs FusionReactor to store the complete Request and Response objects to disk.

 

WARNING: Turning on Request Content Capture will create multiple XML files for every request run on a server. This may use very large quantities of disk space quickly. Please be careful when enabling this feature and do not leave it enabled if you are not monitoring it.

Capture Path

Specifies the location into which captured requests and responses are stored.

 

History:

History Size

This value defines how many requests FusionReactor stores in memory. Once the Request History reaches this size, old requests will be removed when new ones arrive.

 

Stream Metrics:

Stream Metrics

Specifies whether FusionReactor should track statistics about how long it took to get a response back to the client. (Time to first byte, time to completion, bytes per second, etc.).

 

Flash Remoting Support:

AMF Decoding

If FusionReactor receives an Flash Remoting (AMF) request then you can use this option to have FusionReactor decode it. Decoded AMF can be viewed on the Request Details page.
