Select this option to Add, Edit and Remove the following exporter details:

  • Exporter Address: Enter the IP address or the hostname of the IPDR exporter.
  • Exporter Port: Enter the port of the IPDR exporter.

  • Session Id: Enter the session id for the IPDR exporter.

    Multiple Sessions

    If the Session Id is set to 0, the exporter will always select the first session id that is advertised, especially when there are more than one session being hosted by the exporter.

    It is thereby recommended to use 0 when the exporter is hosting only a single session.
