Settings

Database location

Here you can check and change a location of Stats database. If your check Move DB file before changing the location, current database files will copied to a new location.

Update Time

Specifies how often will be traffic data saved to the database. Default value is 180 seconds (~3 minutes). The lower this value is, the more detailed stored data are, but the database file is bigger.

If you click on Set and compact database then you start to compact the stats database. For example if you have previously set Update Time to 100 seconds and then you decide to compact it with Update Time set to 500 seconds then you can theoretically shrink the database 5 times as 5 small chunks of data spread into five 100s long intervals will be put together into one big chunk. On the other hand, it is useless to set Update Time to lower values than the current value. In this case compacting will have no effect on database size.

NTFS compression

Check it if you would like to compress Stats database using file system compression. In some situation it can shrink the database to 50% of its original size (at cost of slower writing and reading from it). We recommend to let it checked.
