Configuration Settings

Edit any of the values on the Configurations Settings tab, then click Update Configuration.

Sensitivity level
A number from 1 to 100 used as the weight percentage in setting the minimum sensitivity to weights update. This setting defines when the manager should change its weighting for the server based on external information. The default of 5 creates a minimum sensitivity of 5%.

Smoothing index
A positive floating point number representing an index that smooths the variations in weight when load balancing. The default value is 1.5.

Update interval (seconds)
A positive number representing in seconds how often the manager will update weights of the servers to the executor. This updates the criteria that the name server uses to load balance client requests. The default value is 2.

Reach update interval (seconds)
A positive number representing the number of seconds between attempts to reach targets in the configuration. The default value is 7.

Manager logging level
The level at which the manager logs its activities. The range is None to Verbose, with None meaning nothing is logged and Verbose meaning everything is logged. The default is Minimal. Select from the following values:
  • None
  • Minimal
  • Basic
  • Moderate
  • Advanced
  • Verbose

Maximum manager log size (bytes)
Sets the maximum size of the manager log. When you set a maximum size for the log, the file wraps; when the file reaches the specified size, the subsequent entries are written from the top of the file, overwriting the previous log entries. This log size cannot be set smaller than the current size of the log. Log entries are time-stamped to display the order in which they were written. The higher you set the log level, the more carefully you must choose the log size, because you can quickly run out of space when logging at the higher levels.

You can specify a positive number greater than zero, or up to 1 MB. The log file may not reach the exact maximum size before overwriting, because the log entries vary in size. The default value is 1048576 bytes.

Reach logging level
The level at which the manager logs the Reach activities. The range is None to Verbose, with None meaning nothing is logged and Verbose meaning everything is logged. The default is Minimal. Select from the following values:
  • None
  • Minimal
  • Basic
  • Moderate
  • Advanced
  • Verbose

Maximum reach log size (bytes)
An integer representing the maximum number of bytes logged by the reach advisor. The default value is 1048576.
