Settings¶
The Settings tab/page can be used to configure global settings for the following:
Setting |
Description |
Alarm Tolerance |
The duration in minutes that an incoming stream must be stopped or a collector must be unreachable for the system to consider it down. |
Auto Acknowledge |
The number of hours before an incoming stream is automatically acknowledged as being down. Default is 24 hours. |
CPU Threshold |
Send alerts about the CPU when it exceeds this percentage. Default is 90%. |
Check Collectors |
If enabled, Plixer Replicator will routinely check the configured collectors for availability. |
DNS Retention |
When enabled, exporters and collectors will be resolved and cached for the number of hours specified. |
DNS Retention Time |
Number of hours to cache DNS information for exporters and collectors. |
LDAP Administrator DN |
The Distinguished Name (DN string) to use when connecting to LDAP. |
LDAP Administrator Password |
Password used in combination with the Administrator DN to bind to LDAP. |
LDAP Certificate File |
OPTIONAL: Path to the server’s certificate (must be in PEM format) |
LDAP Certificate Verification |
If you specify a server certificate, you can configure whether Plixer Replicator will require that it is valid for that server. |
LDAP ID Attribute |
Determines what attribute to check provided usernames against on the directory server. The default is |
LDAP SSL Protocol |
If LDAP is configured, you may optionally specify a version of the SSL/TLS protocol that must be used. |
LDAP Searchbase |
Defines the group where Plixer Replicator will look for authorized users. Multiple OU’s can be added by entering a semicolon separated list. Authentication can be narrowed further by specifying security groups. |
LDAP Security Groups Allowed |
OPTIONAL: Specify the DN of one or more security groups (semicolon delimited). Specifying at least one security group is strongly recommended, to limit the total number of users that will have full access to Plixer Replicator. |
LDAP Port |
The TCP port the LDAP Server is configured to use. |
LDAP Server |
The hostname or IP address of the LDAP server. Multiple, redundant servers can be included by using a comma separated list. |
Licensing |
Manages the Plixer Replicator’s license key and displays license details. |
Notifications |
Sends Plixer Replicator alert and notification syslogs to the server IP and port number specified using the following format: <destination ip>:<destination port>. |
Replication Buffer |
The number of bytes to set aside for a buffer on each listening socket. Default is 32000000. Do not change this setting unless instructed by Plixer Technical Support. |
Stop Replication |
If ping is enabled and a collector is unreachable, this stops replicating data to that device. Replication will continue when the collector begins to respond to pings. |
System Metrics |
When enabled, statistics on CPU and memory per process are exported to the IPFIX collector specified in the metricsSent setting. |
System Metrics Destination |
Export Plixer Replicator statistics and metrics to an IPFIX collector on the specified collector IP and port number using the following format: <destination ip>:<destination port>. |
Update Interval |
The number of seconds to update live data. Valid range is 30 - 60 seconds. |
After making changes, click the Save button to save the updated settings. An error message will be displayed if there are any invalid values entered.
Note
Settings can also be modified via the interactive CLI. See the list of supported commands to learn more.
