Customizing the Number of Event Messages Reported

By default, CTP is configured to store and report on 1,000 event messages. If you want to change this, choose Event Message Limit from the page-level action menu (or go to the Administration> Administration > Database Configuration page), then customize the Virtualize Event Messages value.

Exporting Messages for Virtual Asset Generation

If the Event Messages page reports any messages that you want to create virtual assets from, you can export this traffic as a traffic file, then use this the traffic file to create virtual assets via CTP or Virtualize. For instance, you could use this functionality to create virtual assets for specific messages that were received, but not correlated to any of your current virtual assets or proxies.

  1. Mark the checkbox for Enable each message you want to export.
  2. Click Create traffic file in the bottom left of the Event Messages table.
     
  3. In the dialog that opens, select the Virtualize server upon onto which you want the traffic file created , then specify as and enter a name for the traffic file. Files will be created in the VirtualAssets folder.
     

You can now use this file when you create a new virtual asset (as described in Creating Virtual Assets CTP).
