Modify the Event Timeout

When an event is viewed in the iConsole, its details are cached by the iConsole application server to enable faster viewing of the same event in future. This is especially noticeable when viewing large events.

If multiple users perform large searches and then view multiple events, these lists of cached events can potentially use up a large amount of resources. You can therefore configure how long these events are retained in the cache list, after which they are released.

To configure this timeout, you need to modify a value in the WebService registry key on the iConsole application server. Within this registry key, modify the following value:

EventCachePeriodMinutes

Type: REG_DWORD

Data: Defaults to 5. Specifies the cache timeout (in minutes) for viewed events in the iConsole. The timeout begins when the event is added to the cache. When the timeout expires, that event is removed from the cache.
