Smart Tracking
Enable Smart Tracking
This page allows you to enable/disable Dell Smart Tracking feature by clicking on the On/Off button. When enabled,
Smart Tracking runs for the specified period and collects system configuration and sub-system usage data. This data is
collected in the background and is compiled in the form of a Smart Tracking Report at the end of that period.
Smart Tracking reports contain data such as Fan speed, Thermal data, Battery usage, Processor Utilization etc. 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.
