Viewing Proxy Usage Reports

D.R.T. Allows the user to monitor how well multiple proxy servers are performing. This feature can be accessed by pressing the F12 button or by selecting "View->Proxy Usage Report".

Proxy server cleanup is done automatically by default, meaning that proxies with failure rates above 85% get removed automatically. Note that at least 10 queries must be made using a specific proxy server before it can be considered for deletion.

The Proxy Usage Report can come in handy in identifying the quality of proxy servers at scan time. For example, viewing the report will show all currently active proxies, how many queries were made using those proxies and the failure rate for each proxy expressed as a percent.

With this information, proxies with high failure rates which normally slow down the search process significantly can be identified.

Note that the "Remove High Failure Proxies" button will only work on proxies queried 10 or more times. At least 10 queries are necessary before a proxy can be disabled.
