Messages received by CTP's underlying Virtualize server are logged in the database. The event message, payload, hit statistics, and time information are stored. You can limit the number of event messages, entries about each hit to the server, and days of hit summary in this section.
Note that Virtualize hit statistics rows is set to 100,000 by default. This affects the number of individual rows of statistics data at the bottom of the Service Virtualization Hit Statistics report. Increasing this limit beyond 1,000,000 is not recommended since performance decreases as the table size increases.
The Virtualize hit summary days limit prevents the database from growing out of control. The number of days of summary data also effects performance, but to a lesser degree than the number of Virtualize hit statistics rows.
