You can use the Merge Session Fragment Overrides menu option to manage session fragmentation.
Ideally, a session is stored in a single Canister file on a single server. However, session timeouts, data storage, and other factors can contribute to the fragmentation of sessions, in which the entire session is stored in multiple files in multiple locations.
You can configure the Replay Server to automatically merge fragments of a requested session into a single session for replay. When configured to do so, the Replay Server acquires all fragments of a session from a set of selected Canisters within a specified time range. This range is specified as a number of hours before to a number of hours after the main session fragment.
The default options for merging fragments can be configured through the Portal. Merging session fragments is enabled and disabled for users at the group level.
To manage session fragmentation:
-
From the menu bar, select
Options > Advanced > Merge Session
Fragments.
The Merge Session Fragments window opens, displaying the current merge session fragment settings.
- Change the current merge session fragment settings as needed.
- Click OK to apply the changes.
The fragmentation settings for the session are changed.
