Configure a Table View's Refresh Rate

NNMi enables an NNMi administrator to override the default refresh rate for a table view in theNNMi console.

Note The minimum recommended refresh rate is 30 seconds. Setting the refresh rate less than 30 seconds can degrade performance.

To override the default refresh rate for an NNMi table view, complete the following steps:

  1. Edit the following file:

    Windows: %NMS-PROPS%\nms-ui.properties

    Linux: $NNM_PROPS/nms-ui.properties

  2. Determine the viewInfoId URL parameter of the view that has the refresh rate you want to change:
    1. Open the view that has the refresh rate you want to change.
    2. Click Show View in New Window.
    3. Note the viewInfoId URL parameter. For example, viewInfoId=allIncidentsTableView.
  3. Using the following format add a line to nms-ui.properties to specify the view and its refresh rate in seconds:

    com.hp.ov.nms.ui.refreshViewSecs.VIEWKEYWORD = SECS

    Note the following:

    • VIEWKEYWORD is the viewInfoId URL parameter of the view.
    • SECS is the refresh rate in number of seconds.
    • Ensure that there are no extra spaces at the end of the command line.

    For example, to change the refresh rate of the All Incidents view to 120 seconds, add the following line to nms-ui.properties:

    com.hp.ov.nms.ui.refreshViewSecs.allIncidentsTableView = 120
  4. Save your changes.

To see the new refresh rate, open a different view and then return to the view that has the refresh rate you just configured.

Note When making file changes under High Availability (HA), you must make the changes on both nodes in the cluster. If the change requires you to stop and restart the NNMi management server, you must put the nodes in maintenance mode before running the ovstop and ovstart commands. See Maintenance Mode for more information.
