Common Configuration Policy Group (Agent)

The Common Configuration policy group contains the following common configuration agent and Configuration and State Management (CSM) agent policies. You can modify policy parameter values using either the Common Configuration configuration view or the Setting Properties dialog.

Delta-report interval

Indicates the time in minutes to pass before the common configuration agent sends a delta report. If set to 0 (zero), delta reports are not enabled.

Limits: 0–8409600

Default: 60

Delta-report retry interval

Indicates the time in minutes to pass before the common configuration agent resends a delta report to a target computer that has not replied.

Limits: 10–8409600

Default: 60

Hello interval

Specifies the time in seconds between "heartbeat" messages from the CSM agent. Heartbeat messages are status messages sent at regular intervals—in seconds—to the server to signal that an agent is functioning correctly.

Limits: 60–604800

Default: 43200, <locally managed>

Hello message retry - stage one

Specifies the number of seconds between "heartbeat" messages from the CSM agent when it has not received a message from the server. This value should be smaller than the value set for Hello message retry - stage two.

Limits: 60–86400

Default: 120, <locally managed>

Hello message retry - stage two

Specifies the number of seconds between "heartbeat" messages from the CSM agent when it has not received a message from the server and the agent is already running at the interval option specified for Hello message retry deceleration. This value should be greater than the value set for Hello message retry - stage one.

Limits: 60–86400

Default: 2700, <locally managed>

Hello message retry deceleration

Specifies the number of seconds after startup when the CSM agent starts to use the Hello message retry - stage two interval for "heartbeat" messages.

Limits: 60–86400

Default: 900, <locally managed>

Message expiration

Specifies the lifetime in seconds for messages from the CSM agent to the CSM server.

Limits: 60–86400

Default: 3600, <locally managed>

Plugin check interval

Specifies the time in seconds for activation of CSM agent plug-ins like Common Configuration and OSIM.

Limits: 60–3600

Default: 180, <locally managed>

Poll interval

Specifies the time in seconds between server polls by the CSM agent. If set to 0 (zero), server polling is disabled. This policy should be activated only if the agent is behind a NAT router.

Limits: 0–86400

Default: 0, <locally managed>
