Can I get information on why the total hits on an event would say 2 and when clicking the CABS link to download, it shows more than two CABs to download? What is the difference between the total hits for the event and amount of CAB ID's avaialble to download?
What does each CAB ID represent?
Just need info on how this whole WER reports work. New at the whole process.
Thanks,
Roberto
Hi Roberto,
The CAB Ids don't represent anything in particular. They're just unique identifiers assigned to the file. There's also little relation between the number of CABs and hits. Hits will be recorded as long as the Event is still occurring on people's machines. But because of disk space limitations, only a limited number (10 or so) are generally collected for each Event. This is usually a sufficient number of CABs to diagnose a problem.

Roberto,
In this case, what you are seeing is a hit count of the event as it was processed (most likely a few hours before you saw the event).Between processing times (so we can update the counts, averages, growth, Et Al) some new reports have been submitted that contained cab files.We enable you to see the cab files in real-time so you have access to the latest report dumps without waiting for the metadata processing.
Does that make sense?
Kind regards,
