The general settings allow you to configure some of the more fundamental properties of how APIIDA API Gateway Manager behaves on a global level.
...
General Settings
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Time Zone | The Gateway Manager saves all data / time values in UTC. This setting controls which time zone is used for display in the user interface. More elaborate settings concerning date and time (like the display formats) can be found in the configuration file. |
Retention time | APIIDA API Gateway Manager deletes old data regularly. These are metrics gathered from the gateways, alarms their confirmation and past migrations including their backups and logs. This setting allows you to specify the number of days after which that happens. Default is 30 days. |
Automatic Logout | The number of minutes of inactivity after which the Gateway Manager logs a user out. The user is sent back to the login screen, requiring her to authenticate herself again in order to continue working in the system. Enter a 0 to disable the automatic logout. |
Metrics time period | If you manage a large number of nodes in AAGM, it is advisable to increase the interval for scanning the metrics in order to reduce the load on the system. |
Migrations Retention Time | Once the retention time has expired, migrations are completely removed. All files and logs are deleted. |
Time between Metric pulls (5s to 60s) | If you only use the metrics as a basic overview and the accuracy and reliability of the metrics and alarms play a secondary role. You can increase the time period between pulls and thereby reduce the load on the Gateway Manager and your gateways. |
Default behaviour of Skip Indexing | Before each migration, all required resources are retrieved again from the specified source and target. |
...
If the gateway is managed exclusively by this API Gateway Manager instance or you know that all resources are up-to-date, this step can be skipped. | |
Restman Timeout | Time until the request is cancelled by the Gateway Manager. For large migrations, it makes sense to increase this. |
Graphman Timeout | Time until the request is cancelled by the Gateway Manager. |
