Newtec Dialog Time Series Database Manage
This is a manager connector that operates on top of the Newtec Dialog Time Series Database connector, to spread remote and network DVEs over multiple hub elements. This helps to manage elements licensing and DMA load distribution and assures good performance when retrieving trending, alarms, etc.
The connector gathers all available remotes and networks on the configured Dialog hub elements. The detected items are then assigned to one of the hub elements.

Usage
General
This page provides an overview of all Dialog hub elements that are managed by this manager element.
The page also indicates the number of remotes and networks that are assigned to each hub element. However, note that this does not necessarily equal the number of DVEs that are active in the system.
It is possible that a remote or network is assigned to an element but is not currently active. In that case, that slot is reserved, so that the trending and alarm information for the item remains available in case it becomes active again.
Configuration
On this page, the synchronization interval can be configured. By default, synchronization occurs every minute.
The Auto Enable toggle buttons allows you to specify whether newly detected remotes or networks should be enabled or disabled by default.
Remotes
The table on this page contains all remotes that are detected on the configured hub elements. The creation of DVEs for the remotes can be enabled or disabled.
The button at the top of the page can be used to start a manual synchronization with the Dialog hub elements.
Networks
The table on this page contains all networks that are detected on the configured hub elements. The creation of DVEs for the networks can be enabled or disabled.
The button at the top of the page can be used to start a manual synchronization with the Dialog hub elements.
