# Configure QMS to Send Statistics

You can configure QMS to send information to a Statistics Server, so that it can collect statistics about the use of promotions and synonym rules.

NOTE: Micro Focus recommends that you send the data to Statistics Server through the document tracking feature instead. Document tracking captures additional event types that are not sent by QMS using this method. For information about how to send data to Statistics Server through document tracking, see Use Document Tracking (QMS events only).

To configure QMS to send events to Statistics Server

1. Open the QMS configuration file in a text editor.

2. In the `[StatisticsServer]` section, set the following configuration parameters.

   `Host` | The host name or IP address of the Statistics Server.
   `Port` | The event port (not the ACI port) of the Statistics Server.

   For example:

       [StatisticsServer]
       Host=statistics
       Port=19871

3. Save and close the QMS configuration file. Restart QMS for your changes to take effect.
