TIBCO Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and Administration

Changing how long the server waits before assuming that a node manager is offline

You can configure the amount of time that Spotfire Server waits for a node manager to signal its presence. If the node manager does not send a signal within the configured time period, the server assumes that the node is offline. For setups that are experiencing a heavy load, you can raise this value to avoid unnecessarily restarting a node manager.

About this task

The default value for this property is 12,000 milliseconds (12 seconds).

Procedure

  2. On the command line, enter the following command:
    config set-config-prop --name=nodemanager.heartbeat.threshold --value=X
    where X is the length of time, in milliseconds, that the server will wait for the node manager signal.
  3. Import the configuration back to the Spotfire database by using the import-config command.
