# Linux Client Parameters
> Reduce database space used by Linux Client sessions by limiting or skipping command output and function calls, and set a Linux Client's description.
## Client description
The Client description is used for additional information about a Linux Client, making it easier to find in the Clients list - Clients can be filtered by description as well as by name.
Similar parameters are also available for [Windows Clients](/docs/administration/clients/parameters/client-description) and [macOS Clients](/docs/administration/clients/parameters/client-description).
On the **Editing Client** page, select the **Properties** tab.
In the **Client Properties** section at the top, edit the **Description** field.
Click **Finish**.
Only users with the Client Configuration Management permission can edit the Client description.
## Command output limiting
Command output limiting reduces database space by capping the total amount of command output response data recorded per command, in remote SSH sessions.
On the **Editing Client** / **Editing Client Group** page, select the **Monitoring \[Linux]** tab.
In the **Command Output Limiting** section, set **The Command Output limit (KB)**. Default: **500**. A value of **0** disables the limit entirely.
A new limit only applies to SSH sessions started after the change - sessions already in progress keep the previous limit.
After updating to Syteca 7.0.50 or later (which introduced this parameter), existing Clients default to 500 KB automatically.
## Command output skipping
Command output skipping reduces the amount of data received by defining specific commands (optionally with parameters) whose output isn't recorded at all.
On the **Editing Client** / **Editing Client Group** page, select the **Monitoring \[Linux]** tab.
In the **Command Output Skipping** section, enter the commands in the **Commands** field, separated by semicolons. Add parameters after a command, separated by spaces - for example `;;`.
## Function call skipping
Function call skipping reduces the amount of data received by defining specific system function calls that aren't recorded.
Disabled by default. Enable it first by adding `` to `EkranServer.Settings.config` (by default in `C:\Program Files\Ekran System\Ekran System\Server`).
On the **Editing Client** / **Editing Client Group** page, select the **Monitoring \[Linux]** tab.
In the **Function Call Skipping** section, enter the function calls, separated by semicolons. Add parameters after a function call, separated by spaces - for example `;;`.
