SLNet.exe.config

The file SLNet.exe.config is used for the configuration of settings related to the SLNet process.

This file is located in the following folder: C:\Skyline DataMiner\Files

It contains among others the following settings:

  • DMA communication settings. See Configuring DMA communication settings in SLNet.exe.config.

  • The number of log files generated for the SLNet process, determined by the value for the LogFileRotateAmount key in the appSettings section. For example:

    <appSettings>
     ...
     <add key="LogFileRotateAmount" value="3" />
     ...
    </appSettings>
    
  • The file size (in MB) of the log files generated for the SLNet process, determined by the value for the LogFileSize key in the appSettings section. For example:

    <appSettings>
     ...
     <add key="LogFileSize" value="3" />
     ...
    </appSettings>
    
  • The minimum number of threads the .NET threadpool creates on demand (supported from DataMiner 10.6.4/10.7.0 onwards). Increasing these values can improve performance on systems that experience a high burst of incoming request messages. The correct setting is system‑dependent; using values that are too low or too high can negatively impact overall performance. This is configured via the ThreadPoolMinWorkerThreads and ThreadPoolMinIOThreads keys in the appSettings section. For more information, refer to ThreadPool.SetMinThreads.

    For example:

    <appSettings>
        ...
        <add key="ThreadPoolMinWorkerThreads" value="32" />
        <add key="ThreadPoolMinIOThreads" value="32" />
        ...
    </appSettings>
    
Note

Any changes to these settings will only take effect after a full DMA restart.
