Name             Occurrences Description
All
  ActiveAlarmStatsExpirationTime [0, 1] When time ranges other than the most recent one are being requested, they will remain in memory for this amount of time (if unused) (in minutes). Default: 10 minutes.
  ActiveAlarmStatsTimeToKeep [0, 1] Time range of most recent active alarm stats to keep in memory (in days). Default: 2 days.
  AllMessageHandleWarnTime [0, 1] When a message takes longer than x ms to handle, a warning will be written into the log file. Default: 10 ms.
  AllowClientSideCaching [0, 1] Specifies what items are cached by clients. Possible values: "none", "objects", "events", "all" (= objects + events). Multiple values can be separated by commas. Default: "objects".
  AuthenticationTicketExpirationTime [0, 1] When establishing a new connection (e.g. using the DataMiner Web Services), SLNet makes use of a ticket for authentication. This setting specifies how long this ticket remains valid (in seconds). Default: 30 seconds.
  AutoDisconnectTime [0, 1] If a client has had no activity for duration specified in this element and does not have a valid callback, its object will be destroyed. A client is considered active whenever an incoming message enters or a successful callback was made. Minimum value: 60 seconds. Maximum value: 30 minutes. Default: 120 seconds.
  AvailableDashboardsServiceUrl [0, 1] Web service address where SLNet should get its available dashboards information (default: http://localhost/Dashboards/DashboardInfo.asmx). This setting is available for debugging/development purposes only.
  BackgroundTasksMaxList [0, 1] Specifies the maximum size of the background tasks list. Older entries are automatically removed when the list count exceeds this number. Note that active tasks are never removed, so the total list size can be bigger than this number. Default: 50.
  CallbackTimeout [0, 1] Indicates the number of seconds SLNet waits for an asynchronous callback to complete. If the callback takes longer, the connection is destroyed. Default: 30 seconds.
  ClearedAlarmStoreTime [0, 1] Defines how long (in seconds) recently cleared alarm events are stored in the alarm event cache. This data is used to deal with filling out Correlation event base alarm details. Default: 60 seconds.
  ClientMessageHandleWarnTime [0, 1] When a client message takes longer than x ms to handle, a warning will be written into the log file. Default: 1000 ms.
  ClientSkipViewUpdates [0, 1] When this is set to "true", DataMiner Cube clients will no longer handle any view changes, allowing view info refreshes via a Refresh button only. Default: false.

  ConnectionAuthMethod [0, 1] Specifies the default authentication method for SLNet connections.
  ConnectionAuthTimeout [0, 1] When an incoming authentication request is not completed in the number of seconds specified, the DataMiner Agent can clean up the authentication progress state with reason: "authentication took too long". Applies to incoming connections. Default: 30 seconds.

  ConnectionRefusalTime [0, 1] Defines how long (in minutes) connections to a certain Agent should be refused when a serious problem with the connection is detected. Serious problems include cases where a remote Agent wants to send so many messages that events get dropped. Refusing the connection in this case will avoid constant reconnection, and it will allow clients to keep working on the rest of the system. An administrator can then connect to the faulty Agent to resolve the problem. Minimum value: 1 minute. Maximum value: 60 minutes. Default: 10 minutes.
