Dell Precision Optimizer User's Guide

The Analytics page allows you to enable or disable the Dell System Analysis feature. Click RUN NEW REPORT button to enable or disable the Dell System Analysis feature. When enabled, System Analysis runs for the specified period and collects system configuration and subsystem usage data.  This data is collected in the background and is compiled in the form of a System Analysis Report at the end of the specified period.

System Analysis reports contain data such as fan speed, thermal data, battery usage, and processor utilization. These reports can help you understand the behavior of your system under the operating environment that was present when the report was running. You can configure the following options that control the operation of System Analysis.

Report duration

The report duration settings on the Analytics page controls how often reports are generated. Daily reports are generated whenever the system date changes, which may be a period less than 24 hours. The report frequency period does not include the time your system spends in Sleep, Hibernate, or Shutdown states.

Number of reports

The number of reports setting on the Analytics page controls how many reports are generated before the System Tracking feature gets disabled automatically. For example, if you configure the system with a Report Duration of 10 hours and a Number of Reports of 3 reports, then you should expect to see your first report after 10 hours. Two new reports should be seen every 10 hours after the first one. System Tracking feature should stop after three reports are generated.

The VIEW REPORT page shows you the number of previously completed reports. To view these reports, click VIEW REPORT. If multiple reports are available on your system, you can select a report to view by clicking the left and right arrows on the top of the report page. The bottom right side of the report page displays detailed information and graphs from the selected report.
