Each DCC has a window dedicated to Live Statistics presentation and configuration. Below is a snapshot of the configuration options as seen in RenderMan for Maya:
Enable Live Stats
...
The bottom line of the configuration portion of the Live Statistics window is the current state of the connection, if the Live Stats Server is enabled.

Configuration options are limited as this is a prototype feature. As this feature evolves so will the ability to create custom configurations of live stats. |
Configuration File
The stats configuration file (default name: "stats.ini") holds the basic default settings for the stats session, a list of listeners to attach, and per-listener rules for metric data to be observed by each listener.
...
The stats system will search for the configuration file in the following order:
| Order | Location | Default |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | /stats/configpath setting in rendermn.ini | .:${RMANTREE}/etc |
| 2 |
| none |
| 3 | prman -statsconfig </path/to/filename.ini> | stats.ini |
Configuration files are not merged if more than one is found. The last one found wins.

Listener control and configuration are not yet dynamic. You are able to enable and disable listeners without recompiling, but you need to restart the render In most cases a render must be restarted in order to see the configuration change. The same applies to changing which metrics a listener is observing. We are still polishing the mechanisms for enabling and disabling listeners and metrics mid-render, and eventually a front-end configuration UI. In the case of RfM and RfB, the application will need to be restarted. |
DCC Configuration
Blender
RfB uses the prman command-line mechanism as described above.
