Customizing Settings

You can change preferences for updating frequency, persistence directory, maximum log size, and so on, for the Management Console.

To change communication settings:

1. Click Window then Preferences then JRockit Mission Control then Management Console and then Communication.

2. Set the communication options for the Management Console.

   • Default update interval [ms]: This is the time interval that the Management Console updates displayed information.

   • Mail server (SMTP): This is the mail server that is used when, for example, sending notifications.

   • E-mail address: This is the e-mail address that is used as the sender address when the system sends notifications.

   • Update interval for thread stacks [ms]: This indicates how much time will elapse between thread stack updates.

3. Click OK.

To change persistence settings:

1. Click Window then Preferences then JRockit Mission Control then Management Console and then Persistence.

   The following can be set:

   • Persistence directory: Where the Management Console saves the persisted values of attributes (in the attribute subscription log file). Values that are saved are, for example, any changes that you make to MBeans, such as name changes. If problems arises with the log files, you can delete them and then have the Management Console create a new one for you.

   • Enable log rotation: When enabling log rotation, you can set a size for the persisted log. By doing so, you let the Management Console create a new log file as soon as the limit is reached.

   • Limit maximum log size: When combining the log rotation setting with a setting for the maximum log file size, you will enable full log rotation, i.e. the Management Console will delete the oldest log file as soon as the maximum log file size limit is reached. You will always know how much space the log files take on your computer.

2. Click OK.
