Modifying the runtime parameters

You can modify the runtime parameters to control the contents and presentation of a report.

This table lists the standard runtime parameters. A report may have additional parameters.
Runtime Parameter Default Description
Enter Period From NOW -3 HOUR. Required. Start time of the report. The default is NOW -3 HOUR. For Big Data intelligence, the default is NOW -1 DAY. Predefined reports may have different defaults.
Enter Period to NOW Required. End time of the report. The default is NOW. Predefined reports may have different defaults.
Guardium appliance All Big Data Intelligence only. Data is retrieved for all Guardium appliances (default) or the selected one.
Time Zone The time zone of your Guardium system. Big Data Intelligence only. Data is retrieved according to this time zone and date fields are presented in this time zone.
Remote Data Source None In a Central Manager environment, you can run a report on a managed unit by selecting that Guardium system from the Remote Data Source list.
Show Aliases None (meaning the system-wide default is used). Select On to always display aliases, or Off to never display aliases. Select Both to display both the original and alias value. Select Default to revert to the system-wide default (controlled by the administrator)
Refresh Rate (seconds) 0 Rate at which the report is refreshed, in seconds. 0 means the report is not refreshed automatically.
