Internal Error using Filter

Avatar
When I add a filter (File) and the /folder/file.aspx with the actual folder and file name, I get:

Cannot show the report: internal error.

Do I have an issue with the syntax I'm using or a problem with the application?

CIO likes the dynamic filtering on the application webpage, so we will have to live with the error.

Yes, this feature is very useful, but it may cause problems with large log sets (multiple GB), as in this case all log data must be added to database, and if you apply filter it is to be reprocessed again on the fly. That's why we generally don't recommend using it for large log sets.

Do you get the same error is you try other filters?

However, the error seems to be related to the size of your database. For very large logs disabling including detailed log data is recommended when analyzing large data sets and using the dynamic HTML reports. It will significantly reduce the database size, but in such case you won't be able to apply filters when viewing a report, while you will still be able to add filters in Profile Properties > Filters.

You can disable the "Include detailed log data" option in Profile Properties > Report.
