1.6 Gathering Information

The comparison feature provides several reports that enable the
administrator to specify the particular type and level of information that
will be most useful in a particular case. The different report types
available are:
Show Only Differences Report
This feature provides a mechanism for filtering the level of information
displayed when comparing two different configuration snapshots (or
sessions). For example, when a user requests that Configuration Record
Utility generate a comparison of sessions using the "differences" filter,
the tool automatically compares those two sessions (which are already
stored in a Configuration Record file). It then generates a report that
shows only the differences between the two generations. In this case, the
differences report will include all information recorded, such as changes
in amounts of free memory. Reviewing the differences occurring between
different configuration snapshots can help identify trends causing
intermittent computer problems, such as low memory resources.
