Changing the frequency of topology update checks

TopoViz checks at regular intervals whether the topology shown in a network view has been updated. To change this frequency, change the topoviz.topologyupdateperiod value of the topoviz.properties file.

Any new nodes appear automatically in the topology maps; the new nodes are highlighted using handles.

The default frequency is 300 seconds (5 minutes). You can change this to any value between 300 and 3600 seconds. If you set the topoviz.topologyupdateperiod property to a value outside this range, the default value is used.

To change the check frequency:

  1. Open the $NMGUI_HOME/profile/etc/tnm/topoviz.properties configuration file and identify the following line: 
    topoviz.topologyupdateperiod=3600
  2. Change the frequency to the required value in seconds. Save and close the topoviz.properties file.
