Changing global settings

You can change the frequency at which certain status data is refreshed; the duration that alerts remain active, inactive, and closed; and the default conditions that indicate that clients are at risk.

Procedure

  1. On the Operations Center menu bar, hover over the settings icon Settings icon, and select Settings.
  2. Click the General tab, and make changes as appropriate.

    Changes are applied to the hub server and any spoke servers.

    Restrictions:
    • For status retention, short data-collection intervals use more space in the server database and might require more processor and disk resources. For example, decreasing the interval by half doubles the required database and archive log space. Long intervals reduce the currency of Operations Center data but better suit a high-latency network configuration.
    • Also, for status retention, enter a data-collection interval of not less than 5 minutes. An interval of less than 5 minutes can cause the following issues:
      • Operations Center data that is supposed to be refreshed after the defined interval takes a longer time to be refreshed.
      • Operations Center data that is supposed to be refreshed almost immediately when a related change occurs in the storage environment also takes a longer time to be refreshed.
