Registry Key Adjustments to Address Performance Issues
Overview
The following values represent possible advanced configuration settings that can be used in very large environments if the EgoSecure server frequently experiences performance problems. Some of the values are existing by default or can be added and modified to tune the performance between agents and server(s) and between the server(s) and the database. The following list shows a brief overview about potential settings that might help to improve the performance of your environment, but these settings should only be set or modified if Matrix42 Support asks you to do so.
Registry Keys
| Key | Available by Default | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Communication between Agents and Servers | |||
| NotifyChunkSize | No | 100 | Configures how many agents the server will notify at once after a global change. |
| NotifyPauseTime | No | 2000 | Configures the default delay in ms before notifying another batch of agents. |
| MaxClients | No | 0 | Sets how many concurrent agent connections are accepted by the server. Setting this too low could result in many agents appearing to be offline when they are not. A value set to 0 corresponds to unlimited. |
| Connections between Server and Database | |||
| MaxHighSessions | Yes | 0 | Defines the amount of allowed high priority connections to the Database, for example for the Console. A value set to 0 corresponds to unlimited. |
| MaxNormalSessions | Yes | 0 | Defines the amount of allowed normal priority connections to the Database. A value set to 0 corresponds to unlimited. |
| MaxLowSessions | Yes | 25 | Defines the amount of allowed low priority connections to the Database, for example to write audit events from agents. |
| SessionWaitTimeout | Yes | 3000 | Defines the time to wait in ms until session timeouts. |
| DatabaseRestoreConnectionTimeout | Yes | 5000 | Defines the time to wait in ms before restoring a connection to the Database. |
| DbHaveFreePool | Yes | 1 |
By default connections to the Database are kept open in a connection pool and reused by server operations to reduce the overhead of opening and closing connections. Only disable this if you are specifically instructed by Matrix42 Support. Available values:
