Timer Index Sizing Configuration
You can use the configuration parameters in create_config.py to configure the MATRIXX Engine timer index sizing. The timer index facilitates alert look-ups, task recurring processing, and event scanning using a trigger time.
Timer Index Sizing Configuration Parameters lists the
information required to configure the MATRIXX Engine timer index sizing.
For details about printing timer index statistics, see the discussion about print_blade_stats.py in MATRIXX Administration.
| Parameter | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| Use Default Timer Index Characteristics | This value indicates whether the default timer index characteristics are being used. create_config.info question: Do you want to use the default timer index size configuration (y/n)? |
y |
| Timer Index Window Size | This value represents the size of the timer index main window in seconds. This is the time interval the index will
cover starting from the current time. The minimum value is 1. create_config.info question: How many seconds do you want the timer index window to span? |
57600 |
| Timer Index Resolution in Milliseconds | This value represents the resolution of the timer index window. It determines how quickly a triggered alert can be
processed, the amount of time to wait before rescanning the database for tasks that require recurring processing, and the amount of time to wait after each database
scan for events. Increasing this value will make detection less precise. The minimum value is 1, the maximum value is
1000. create_config.info question: What is the timer index's resolution in milliseconds? |
50 |
| Far Term Values | This value represents the maximum number of entries that are beyond the main window at any time. The minimum value is
1. create_config.info question: What is the maximum number of values that can be stored beyond the main time window? |
100000 |
