Throttles limit the number of user queries that can run at the same time by rejecting them or putting them in a delay queue. Classification determines which queries are associated with a throttle. Analytics Database detects classification criteria before executing queries.
Enabling the Dictionary data collector in the Monitored Systems portlet makes sure the lists of usernames in the Classification tab is current. If the collector is not enabled, you can enter usernames manually by entering a match string and clicking Include.
