Configuring the Monitor Server
Monitor’s Monitor Server configuration parameters let you control:
• Whether or not the Monitor Server is enabled.
• The connection information for the remote TDV systems you want to monitor.
• The frequency at which TDV client data is monitored and purged.
To specify the Monitor Server configuration
1. Run Studio.
2. From the Administration menu, choose Configuration.
3. Change the Monitor Server settings as necessary.
Monitor Server
Use to...
Enable Monitor Server
Specify whether TDV should automatically run the Monitor Server.
True—TDV runs the Monitor Server.
False—TDV does not run the Monitor Server.
Idle Client Timeout
Specify the period in seconds that a TDV client needs to be idle before it is considered expired. The Monitor Server aggregates TDV sessions together which have the same host, client type, user name, and domain name into a single TDV client. This allows similar TDV sessions from TDV nodes in a cluster or connectionless sessions, such as those created by web services, to appear as one logical TDV client for monitoring purposes.
Default: 300 seconds
Minimum: 1 second
Expired Client Purge Period
Specify the period in milliseconds between purges of expired TDV clients from the TDV Collector to Monitor Server.
Default: 1000 milliseconds
Minimum: 100 milliseconds
Force Single Server Monitoring
Specify whether to monitor a single TDV member of the cluster or the entire TDV cluster.
If the TDV system is not part of a cluster, or if the monitored TDV is localhost, this option has no effect and is treated as True.
True—Monitor Server monitors the TDV as a single standalone instance.
False—Monitor Server attempts to monitor the entire cluster to which the TDV instance belongs.
TDV Host
Specify the host name of the remote TDV connection. If monitoring a cluster, this can be any member of the cluster.
Default: localhost
TDV Password
For the system user named monitor within the composite domain, specify the password to use for connecting with the remote TDV.
Default: monitor
TDV Port
Specify the base port of the remote TDV you want to monitor. If this value is non-zero, then that port will be used. If this value is 0 and the TDV Host is "localhost", then the port of this TDV instance will be used; otherwise port 9400 will be used. See the effective port for the actual port that will be used.
Default: 0 (that is, use the same port as the local TDV uses.
TDV Effective Port
The actual port for the remote TDV connection.
This is a read-only value.
Reconnect Period
Specify the period, in seconds, the Monitor Server is to wait before attempting to reconnect with a TDV system if the connection is broken.
Default: 10 seconds
