Edit a Local Service Configuration

You can view or edit local service configurations by service or by host server. Local service configurations let you control services or settings that may not apply, or be required, for your entire environment, overriding global settings only for specific hosts. For example, you may want a specific CA Enterprise Log Manager server to retain action alerts longer than others. You control this using a local configuration.

The maximum and minimum configuration values are detailed in the specific service sections. If you attempt to save values outside the allowed range, CA Enterprise Log Manager defaults to the minimum or maximum as appropriate.

To edit a local service configuration

1. Click the Administration tab, and then click the Services subtab.

   The Service List appears.

2. Click the arrow beside the service whose configuration you want to edit.

   The service display expands, showing individual service hosts.

3. Click the service host you want.

   The service configuration you select opens in the details pane.

4. Make the configuration changes you want. Every entry field, menu, or control in the local configuration displays a local/global configuration button which can be toggled to one of two states.

   Global configuration:

   Local configuration:

   Clicking the button changes it from the global to the local setting, and makes its associated value available for use. The value must remain set for local configuration for the setting to take effect: If it is set for global configuration, the global setting for that listener is in effect.

   Note: Clicking Reset shows the most-recently saved configuration values for all the available configurations. You can reset a single change or multiple changes up to the point you click Save. Once you have saved changes you must reset your changes individually.

5. Click Save when you are finished making changes.

   Any changes you make are applied to the selected service host only.
