# Configure Statistics Server

IDOL Data Admin uses Statistics Server to store statistics for Search Optimizer. Use the following procedures to configure Statistics Server and send statistics to the server.

NOTE: The `install` folder is located in the installation zip package.

To configure Statistics Server

1. Open `install/statsserver/cfg/statsserver-required-config.cfg`. This file contains the statistics definitions that the Statistics Server requires. Copy the definitions from `statsserver-required-config.cfg` to your Statistics Server configuration file.

   NOTE: If you want to include extra statistics definitions that are not included in `statsserver-required-config.cfg`, those extra statistics must have an IDOL name in order for the server to start.

2. Restart Statistics Server.

For information on how to send statistics to Statistics Server, see the Query Manipulation Server Administration Guide. For your convenience, a modified version of the Perl script described in the Query Manipulation Server Administration Guide is included in `install/statsserver/script/stats.pl`.
