IBM Enterprise Console DirectoryEventsProcessedTimeStamp, DNSEventsProcessed, PollingInterval

DirectoryEventsProcessedTimeStamp

Contains the time stamp for the corresponding event identified by the value of the DirectoryEventsProcessed variable.

DNSEventsProcessed

Contains the highest event number in the Windows DNS Server Log that the adapter has processed. The adapter uses this variable to keep track of how many events it has read and sent to the event server so that the adapter can start at the next event the next time it polls the log. You can lower the DNSEventsProcessed variable if you want an event to be read and processed again. To process all messages in the DNS Server Log, set the DNSEventsProcessed variable to 1.

DNSEventsProcessedTimeStamp

Contains the time stamp for the corresponding event identified by the value of the DNSEventsProcessed variable.

FileReplicationEventsProcessed

Contains the highest event number in the Windows File Replication service event log that the adapter has processed. The adapter uses this variable to keep track of how many File Replication service log events it has read and sent to the event server so that the adapter can start at the next event the next time it polls the log. You can lower the FileReplicationEventsProcessed variable if you want an event to be read and processed again. To process all messages in the File Replication service log, set the FileReplicationEventsProcessed variable to 1.

FileReplicationEventsProcessedTimeStamp

Contains the time stamp for the corresponding event identified by the value of the FileReplicationEventsProcessed variable.

PollingInterval

The adapter polls the Windows event logs for new events at intervals when it does not receive any events automatically. The PollingInterval variable specifies the upper frequency limit, in seconds, to poll the Windows event logs. The default value is 120 seconds.

Polling begins at 5 seconds. If a new event is detected, the next polling frequency begins at 5 seconds again. If no event is detected from a poll, the polling interval is doubled, until the upper limit is reached. After the upper limit is reached, the polling frequency remains at that interval until a new event is detected; then, it is reset to 5 seconds.

Note: If there are buffered events, but no incoming events, the time still doubles until the set PollingInterval time. To avoid this, set PollingInterval to a lower number. The PollingInterval setting is in the registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\Services\ TECWinAdapter\. This is not set by default and must be added to the registry to alter the default value of 120 seconds.

SecurityEventsProcessed

Contains the highest event number in the Windows Security Log that the adapter has processed. The adapter uses this variable to keep track of how many events it has read and sent to the event server so that the adapter can start at the next event the next time it polls the log. You can lower the SecurityEventsProcessed variable if you want an event to be read and processed again. To process all messages in the Security Log, set the SecurityEventsProcessed variable to 1.
