Overview
The Analytics page lets you control two things:
•Anonymous Diagnostic Data — Whether to send anonymized diagnostics to Peer Software.
•PeerIQ Analytics — Whether to send analytics from PeerGFS to PeerIQ and, if so, which analytics to include.
PeerIQ, a virtual appliance-based analytics engine, offers a set of dashboards for monitoring the health and performance of PeerGFS and the replication environment. PeerIQ must be deployed and reachable.
Note: Proactive Monitoring is configured on the Proactive Monitoring subpage. It is not enabled on the Analytics page.
For more information about the data collected, see Analytics in Advanced Topics.
