Configuring the OpsCenter session timeout interval

When the timeout interval is left at its default value, users are automatically logged out of the OpsCenter console when a session is left inactive for 30 minutes. However, the session timeout interval can be reconfigured.

To configure the session timeout interval

  1. Open the web.xml configuration file in a text editor from the following locations:

    For Windows:

    INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\gui\webserver\conf\web.xml

    For UNIX:

    <INSTALL_PATH>/SYMCOpsCenterGUI/webserver/conf/web.xml

  2. In the web.xml file, locate the session-timeout parameter:
    <session-config>
    <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
    </session-config>
  3. Change the session timeout parameter value to the desired length by changing the number that is encapsulated by the XML tags for session-timeout (in the example above, change 30 to the desired value).

    This value is set in minutes.

  4. Stop the OpsCenter services. Enter the following command:

    Windows

    INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\bin\opsadmin.bat stop

    UNIX

    <INSTALL_PATH>/SYMCOpsCenterServer/bin/opsadmin.sh stop

  5. Restart the OpsCenter services. Enter the following command:

    Windows

    INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\bin\opsadmin.bat start

    UNIX

    <INSTALL_PATH>/SYMCOpsCenterServer/bin/opsadmin.sh start
