HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux

Frequently scheduled tasks
Task results can also be removed from the Task Results Page if a certain number of task results for
a scheduled task accumulate. This setting defaults to 10 instances of a single task. If more than 10
accumulate on the results page, then the oldest task result for this scheduled task is removed.
Last result tasks
A task result is kept indefinitely if it is the last result for a scheduled task. For example, if a scheduled
task is disabled, its final task result is kept indefinitely or until the task is enabled and more task
results accumulate.
To configure task results using the HP Systems Insight Manager interface, select Options→Task
Results Settings. For more information, see the HP Systems Insight Manager help system.
To configure the short and long task lifetimes manually, edit the globalsettings.props file.
• The long lifetime defaults to 30 days. To change that time, edit:
MX_JOB_MAX_COMPLETED_JOB_AGE=30
• Task results for frequently scheduled tasks start to drop off after 10 instances. To change this
value, edit:
MX_JOB_MAX_COMPLETED_JOBS_PER_TASK=10
NOTE: The limit of 10 task results applies to scheduled tasks with the "job-log" flag enabled
in the tool definition. Scheduled tasks for the tools with the "job-log" flag disabled have a limit
of 1. This value is not configurable.
• By default, the last task results for a scheduled task is kept indefinitely.
Procedure 8 Keeping more than one job
1. Stop HP Systems Insight Manager.
2. Edit globalsettings.props and add:
MX_JOB_MIN_COMPLETED_JOBS_PER_TASK=n
Where n, is the number of task result you want to retain.
3. Start the HP Systems Insight Manager service to reflect the changes.
