# Record Statistics

To record statistics, you must ensure that IDOL, Statistics Server, and the front-end application are all running.

To record statistics

1. Start IDOL.

2. Start Statistics Server with one of the following options:

   - Open a command prompt in the Statistics Server installation directory, and run `statsserver.exe`.

   - Open Windows Services, and start the `statsserver` service.

3. Run the XML event script either from the front-end application (if the option exists) or from the command line. If you run the script from the command line, ensure that you identify the IDOL log files that you want to monitor, as in the following example using a PERL script:

       perl XMLscript.pl datafile.log

   where `XMLscript.pl` is the script and `datafile.log` is the IDOL log file.

   NOTE:

   Certain applications might generate XML events or run scripts automatically.

4. If you are using a front-end application, start it.

   The Statistics server begins recording statistical data.
