This session agent deletes unwanted data. DataDrop typically sits between CSS and the Extended Decoupler session agent, so data is deleted before it passes through the Decoupler. This positioning significantly reduces the size of spool files.

The following list is a rough description of the DataDrop decision tree for deciding whether to keep a hit, in the order of evaluation. If a hit passes one test, the next test in the sequence is evaluated:

• If the hit is a round-trip hit, drop it only if the KeepRoundTripHits option is false.
• If DelImages is set to YES and the hit is an uninteresting binary hit, then drop it.
• If the hit is from the CX RealiTea Viewer, then drop the hit if the KeepRealiTeaViewerHits option is false.
• If one of the custom drop rules matches the hit, then drop the hit.
• Keep the hit and pass it on to the next session agent.
