How to Configure the Inform Queue Depth

When the NerveCenter inform acknowledgement feature is enabled, any new informs will be placed in the Inform Queue should the NerveCenter Server lose its connection to the NerveCenter OpenView Platform Adapter. Once the connection is restored, NerveCenter will resend any unacknowledged informs. The section explains how to enable the inform acknowledgement feature.

The inform queue length is limited. If the number of informs waiting to be sent exceeds the queue limit, NerveCenter will delete the oldest inform so the newest inform can be added to the queue. If NerveCenter drops informs it will also fire the predefined trigger NC_INFORMS_LOST. (See the book Designing and Managing Behavior Models for complete details on using this and other predefined triggers in behavior models.)

This section will step you through the process of setting the maximum Inform Queue depth.

 
  To configure the maximum depth for the Inform Queue:

1. Open NerveCenter Administrator and connect to the appropriate NerveCenter Server. If you need help opening NerveCenter Administrator or connecting to a NerveCenter Server, see Managing NerveCenter.
2. Select the Actions tab.

   NerveCenter displays the Actions page.

   The Actions tab in NerveCenter Administrator

   

3. In the Max Queue Depth box enter the desired number of informs you want to be saved in the Inform Queue.

   By default, the Inform Queue depth is set to a maximum of 10000 informs.

4. Select Save.

When the number of informs in the Inform Queue exceed the number entered in Max Queue Depth, NerveCenter will begin dropping informs to include more recent informs.
