Optimizing Node Reporting

By default, managed nodes report the filenames of the first 1,000,000 files of a transfer to Console. However, reporting this many filenames, especially if multiple managed nodes are reporting transfer sessions of several thousands of files, can slow transfers.

You can decrease the number of filenames that are reported by each endpoint by configuring all managed nodes. This configuration affects all transfer reporting, including transfers initiated by Aspera Hotfolders and Aspera Sync. The total number of files transferred, completed, failed, and skipped are still reported, but filenames are logged only for the files up to the specified number.

Perform the following steps on every managed node:

Decrease the number of files that are reported.
Run the following command:
```
# asconfigurator -x "set_central_server_data;files_per_session,1000"
```
With this setting, only the first 1000 filenames are reported to Console and logged.
Restart asperacentral and asperanoded to activate your changes.
Run the following command in a Terminal window to restart asperacentral:
```
# /etc/init.d/asperacentral restart
```
Run the following commands to restart asperanoded:
```
# /etc/init.d/asperanoded restart
```
