You can access the manager's settings by using settings in the main menu.

(1) Communication Directory:

This is the directory in which all of the monitoring plugins should write the files in for them to be detected.

(2) Server state updater task interval

This is the interval (in milliseconds) between each server state updating cycle. if you want to know right away when a server's state has changed you can set this to 1 second (1000ms)

(3) Monitor refresh rate

Self explanatory.

(4) Monitor messages duration

When inside the monitor screen. Background messages may still be sent to you. this specifies how long these messages will stay in the monitor before clearing.

(5) Command scheduler task interval

There is no need for you to change this. it was mainly added for testing.

(6) Use colors in console

Self explanatory.

(7) Clear console when opening a new menu.

When opening a new menu your screen is cleared by default. If you want a console like experience where you can scroll back and see all your commands you can set this to false.

(8) Log output

Log files store data changes, background messages, and any errors or exceptions that occur. Since the manager is fairly new i recommend leaving this option true always so that in the case that something unexpected happens you can have something to reference.

(9) Print background info to console

Background info includes server state changes, timed commands executions, backup executions, and others. It is recommended to leave this as true so that you know whats going on.

(10) Print time stamps on background info in console

More customization if you decide to leave (9) as true.

(11) Storage type

  • flat this is a faster and more reliable way of storing however it does not support version changes.
  • sqlite supports version changes
