RTS Console settings

You can find the AVEVA Real-Time System (RTS) Console settings in the appsettings.json file in the bin\WebUI folder of the RTS installation. You can also use an overload of the host.GetSimCentral command from the AVEVA Process Simulation Scripting Interface to get the values of these settings within your scripts. See the AVEVA Process Simulation Scripting Interface Help for more information.

The following subsections highlight some of the available RTS Console settings:

Log file maintenance

In the Logging section, you can configure the log levels to be more verbose or less verbose. See Log file maintenance for more information.

File size limits for the logging view database (.db) file

In the DatabaseSettings section, you can modify the default values of how often the software purges database entries in the logging view.

The PurgeKeepSpecifiedTimespan key indicates how far back to keep the entries. The default is 30 days.

The PurgeCheckIntervalTimespan key determines how often the software attempts to purge old records. The default is once an hour.

The PurgeMaxDeleteRowsAtATime key is an internal setting to limit how many rows the software deletes from the logging view at a time. Typically, you should not need to change this value.

User interface

You can use the ComputerNameSettings and ClockSettings keys to configure whether the server name and clock appear on the user interface (UI). You can also configure the formats for how the server name and clock display.

You can use the Clipped key to determine whether the long names are truncated from right to left or from left to right. This applies to the following:

• Sequence names (Name column) on the Home page.

  

• Source entries on the Logging page.
