Running Drilldowns as a Separate Process


Most Web servers only allow a CGI process to run for a limited amount of time. If the CGI process created when drilling down into a NetTracker report exceeds this limit, the Web server will stop the drilldown process. To successfully drill down into reports that would otherwise exceed the Web server’s CGI timeout, you can choose to run drilldowns as a separate background process.

To run drilldowns as a separate process:
  1. Click the Options tab.
  2. From the NetTracker Options list at the top of the page, select Edit Administrative Options.
  3. In the left-hand panel, click Advanced under Main.
  4. Select the Run drilldowns in background check box.
  5. Click Save Options and then click Continue.

The change will take effect immediately.
