Systems Insight Manager 6.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for MS Windows

must use some other means to protect an unattended session from illegal use, such as password-protected
screen savers.
Active time-out policy The active time-out policy only keeps sessions alive if the user is actively using the
GUI, such as clicking on links and buttons. Display and refresh of the banner is not sufficient to keep the
session alive. The user is timed-out either by inactivity, closing the browser, or navigating to another site.
The default time-out period is 20 minutes.
Implementation
• To configure the time-out policy, edit the globalsettings.props file. You can switch between these
modes or change the time-out period. The default time-out policy is the monitor policy. The monitor
policy is enabled when:
EnableSessionKeepAlive=true
To enable the active time-out policy, change this value to false.
EnableSessionKeepAlive=false
• To change the default time-out period, edit the web.xml file. The default location for this Windows file
is:
C:\Program Files\HP\System Insight
Manager\jboss\server\hpsim\deploy\Jboss-web.deployer\config\web.xml
Locate the session-timeout element, and set it to a new value in minutes.
<session-timeout>20</session-timeout>
HP Systems Insight Manager audit log configuration
Overview
Several features of the HP Systems Insight Manager Audit Log are configurable. For example, you can specify
which tools log data and the maximum Audit Log file size. The HP Systems Insight Manager Audit Log is
configured through the log.properties file, and tool logging is enabled or disabled through the XML
tool definition files.
Tool behaviors The XML tool definition file provides an option to disable logging of single-system aware
(SSA) and multiple-system aware (MSA) command tools. The log attribute for the command element specifies
whether the results of the command are output to the HP Systems Insight Manager log file. Command output
is logged by default.
Audit log parameters In the log.properties file, you can configure the following Audit Log parameters:
• File name
• File extension
• Maximum file size in megabytes
• File extension of the roll-over name
• Amount of memory allocated for queuing items to be written to the Audit Log
Audit log location The location of the Audit Log can be configured using the path.properties file.
