Configure monitoring settings on StaffCounter local server

Here are the options you can see on the Settings page in the public area of the server. These parameters are passed to monitoring applications to enable or disable specific functions. For example, the “keystrokes” parameter, if enabled, forces the application to collect typed text. On the users’ Settings page, this option is named Record text typing statistics.

Is there any point in modifying the settings? Short parameter names like capture_application, skype, etc. cannot be changed, because the Staffcounter application on a computer or phone expects parameters with those exact names. If a new function appears in the application, you need to add the corresponding parameter to this page.

You can change the parameter name, default value, and parameter visibility. If a parameter is absent from the application configuration, its value will be considered 0.

In the “Is visible for” column, you can enable or disable the visibility of the parameter for a certain category of users.
