Configuring General System Settings

From the Web Console, configure general settings for Avalanche, including session timeout length, alert settings, message backlog limit, server-to-server restrictions, and localization settings.

Note:   For information on configuring integrated logon for the Avalanche Console, see Configuring Integrated Logon.

To configure general system settings:

1   Click Tools > Settings.

The System Settings page appears.

2   Modify the settings as desired:
If you want to configure the length of time before an inactive Web Console user is logged off, or how often the page refreshes, type the number of minutes in the appropriate text box under Web Settings. The settings will only affect the Console for the user who configures them.
If you want to configure how many days an alert is displayed, how many alerts are displayed, or how many alerts are stored in the database, type the appropriate numbers in the text boxes under Alert Settings. The alert display settings will only affect the Console for the user who configures them. The Number of alerts to store option will only be available to administrators.
In the Edit Lock Control area, select Enable Edit Lock Control and set the Edit Lock Timeout and Timeout Warning Tolerance. If a use is editing an item (such as a profile), he has a limited amount of time to make and save his changes before the Edit Lock times out. When the Edit Lock times out, a prompt will appear asking if he wants to extend the Edit Lock. If he does not respond to the prompt, the Edit Lock will be canceled, changes will not be saved, and other users will be able to edit the item. The Edit Lock Timeout is the amount of time he has before the prompt appears, and the Timeout Warning Tolerance is the amount of time between when the prompt appears and when the Edit Lock is canceled.
If you want to configure the maximum threshold for enterprise server messages allowed in the backlog, type the number of messages in the text box under Message backlog. If the spillover threshold is reached, the device servers are throttled and further messages are stored in a file to disk until the backlog is reduced. When device servers are throttled, they will no longer send device statistics updates to the enterprise server. After the backlog has been reduced, messages are pulled from the store file back into the log and the device servers are no longer throttled.
If you want to enable or configure audit logging, click on the status and enable the desired options. For more information on audit logging, see Configuring Audit Logging.
If you want to change the Language used in the Avalanche Console, use the drop-down list to select the desired option. This setting will only affect the Console for the user who configures it. You must have the language package installed in order to select a language other than English.

The language package can be downloaded from the Wavelink Web site. Install the language package on the same computer as the enterprise server and the installed language option will appear in the Language drop-down list. For instructions on installing a language package, see Installing Language Support.

If you want to change the Time Zone used for the Console, use the drop-down list to select the desired option. This setting will only affect the Console for the user who configures it.
3   Click Save to save your changes.
