Customizing PIC Administrator Options

The Platform Instrumentation Control console has several adjustable options. You can set the PIC
console refresh rate, determining how PIC is updated with current information. You can specify
whether temperatures display in Celsius or Fahrenheit, and whether you want to restore PIC
settings to the factory defaults. These settings are global and affect any open PIC session.
PIC installs with the following defaults:
•
PIC console refresh interval: 10 seconds
•
Temperature display format: Celsius
•
Watchdog feature: off
•
Watchdog timer: two minutes
•
Sensor threshold values as defined in the SDR file
To configure the refresh interval or temperature display format:
1. On the PIC Main Menu Bar, click the View->Options menu selection.
2. Change the refresh interval or temperature display format on the Options dialog.
3. Click <OK>.
NOTE
For servers that support server health update events, configuring the console
refresh interval is not necessary or applicable. For other servers, when
configuring the console refresh interval, selecting a frequent refresh interval
impacts system performance on both the console and the managed server
because the ISC polls for the health status of each monitored sensor.
Selecting a less frequent console refresh interval provides a reasonable
information update, while minimizing the overhead on system performance.
The console refresh interval does not impact how quickly the server system
responds to event notifications (e.g., threshold crossings) only how quickly
the ISC main screen display updates with server information. A value of
15 seconds or greater for console refresh value provides a reasonable
compromise.
To restore default PIC settings for threshold values and the watchdog feature:
1. On the PIC Main Menu Bar, click the Configure->Restore Factory Defaults menu selection.
2. Click <OK> on the confirmation dialog.
