Track and Analyze
This page allows you to enable/disable Dell Smart Tracking feature as well as view previously generated reports.
Enable/Disable Smart Tracking
When enabled, Smart Tracking collects system configuration information as well as subsystem usage data in the
background. Smart Tracking reports contain data such as Fan speed, Thermal data, Battery usage, Processor Utilization
etc. over a period of time. These reports can help you understand the behavior of your specific system under the
operating environment that was present when the report was running.
You can configure the following options that control the operation of Smart Tracking:
Report Frequency This setting 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/
Shutdown states.
Stop Tracking After This setting controls how many reports are generated before Smart Tracking gets disabled
automatically. E.g. If you configure the system with a ‘Report Frequency’ of 10 hours and
‘Stop Tracking after’ 3 Report(s), 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. Smart Tracking
should stop after three reports are generated.
Select System Data To
Track
This set of check boxes allows you to choose the subsystems Smart Tracking collects
data from. By default all subsystems are selected.
The following screen shot shows how the GUI will look once you have enabled Smart Tracking to generate one report
after 4 hours.
