Several options are available to tune the way real-time event detection occurs. These options apply to all job types, except for DFS-N Management and PeerSync Management.
Note: There are also real-time event detection settings applicable to most job types in Peer Management Center. See Real-time Event Detection in the File Collab, Sync, and Repl, and Locking Preferences topic for more information.
To view and modify real-time event detection settings for all job types:
1.Select Open Preferences from the Tools menu.
2.Select Real-time Detection in the navigation tree.
The following page is displayed.
3.Modify values as needed:
Option |
Description |
|---|---|
Max Path Length |
Specify the maximum length in characters of a file or folder path that can be detected and worked with. In rare cases, this can be increased to 2048 or even 4096 but doing so will impact memory usage of the Peer Agents. |
Event Buffer Size |
Specify the buffer size to used by the Peer Agents to communicate with various Windows and enterprise NAS platform APIs. |
Access Polling Delay (Seconds) |
Specify the time interval that Peer Agent will poll a file server for its open files list. |
Debug Mode |
Select to enable debug logging for real-time detection. This logs additional information that is often useful in troubleshooting issues but can increase overhead. |
Advanced Job Configuration Options |
Select to enable advanced job-level options tied to real-time event detection. |
Enable Real-time Analytics |
Select to enable the collection of real-time data for trend analysis. Enabled by default; disable only when instructed by Peer Software support. |
Raw Event Logging |
Select to enable raw logging. This logs every single event that we receive from a storage platform, even ones that we may be able to consolidate and coalesce. This additional information is often useful in troubleshooting issues but will increase overhead. |
Advanced Configuration |
Specify a list of strings to enable advanced real-time detection options not found in the GUI. This should only be used when instructed by Peer Software support. |
