Includes details about this PMC deployment.  Details include service memory consumption, replication backlog, quarantines, license consumption, and watch set size.

IP Information - The IP address of the server that this PMC is installed on.

Statistical information - In-depth statistics about the queues and performance of PeerGFS's replication engine.

Agent Details

IP information - The IP addresses of the servers that the Agents are installed on.

Agent Names - The names assigned to the Agents (typically the name of each Agent's Windows Server).  If this option is not checked, random strings will be used in the Analytics Dashboard to represent each Agent.

Agent Locations - The locations (the latitude, longitude, city, state, and country) of the Agents.  Agent locations can be displayed in a map showing replication traffic by geographic location.

If you choose to include Agent location data, you will be prompted to enter Agent location information on the next page of this wizard (the Agent Locations page of this wizard).  No location information is automatically determined - it must be manually entered.

If you don't select this option, the Agent Locations wizard page will not be displayed.
