# Set Up Document Tracking

Document tracking reports metadata about documents when they pass through various stages in the ingestion and indexing process. Document tracking can help you detect problems with the indexing process.

You can write document tracking events to a database, log file, or IDOL Server. For information about how to set up a database to store document tracking events, refer to the IDOL Server Administration Guide.

To enable Document Tracking

1. Open the CFS configuration file.
2. Create a new section in the configuration file, named `[DocumentTracking]`.

3. In the `[DocumentTracking]` section, specify where the document tracking events are sent.

   - To send document tracking events to a database through ODBC, set the following parameters:

     `Backend` | To send document tracking events to a database, set this parameter to `Library`.
     `LibraryPath` | Specify the location of the ODBC document tracking library. This is included with IDOL Server.
     `ConnectionString` | The ODBC connection string for the database.

     For example:

         [DocumentTracking]
         Backend=Library
         LibraryPath=C:\Autonomy\IDOLServer\IDOL\modules\dt_odbc.dll
         ConnectionString=DSN=MyDatabase

   - To send document tracking events to the CFS import log, set the following parameters:

     `Backend` | To send document tracking events to the logs, set this parameter to `Log`.
     `DatabaseName` | The name of the log stream to send the document tracking events to. Set this parameter to `import`.

     For example:

         [DocumentTracking]
         Backend=Log
         DatabaseName=import

   - To send document tracking events to an IDOL Server, set the following parameters:

     `Backend` | To send document tracking events to an IDOL Server, set this parameter to `IDOL`.
     `TargetHost` | The host name or IP address of the IDOL Server.
     `TargetPort` | The index port of the IDOL Server.

     For example:

         [DocumentTracking]
         Backend=IDOL
         TargetHost=idol
         TargetPort=9001

   For more information about the parameters you can use to configure document tracking, refer to the Connector Framework Server Reference.

4. Save and close the configuration file.
