Getting Started
Monitoring User Session Information
7. To reset all session accounting information whenever the server is restarted,
select the Reset accounting statistics when the management server starts check
box. When this option is selected, IDM closes any open sessions and resets the
RADIUS Server totals to zero when the server restarts.
If the status of users—logged on or off—seems incorrect, it is possible that the
session accounting is out of sync. Use the Reset accounting statistics option to
correct the problem. This immediately closes any open sessions (this has no effect
on the user, only on the IDM accounting), and resets user login counts on the
RADIUS server to zero.
Existing accounting records are not removed by the Reset procedures, the only
effect is that currently open sessions are closed.
8. To ignore capability override warnings generated by switches that don't support
certain capabilities (for example, VLAN, QoS, Bandwidth, and ACL overrides),
select the Ignore device capability warnings check box.
9. To send only those attributes supported by the device, select the Only send
supported device attributes to device check box.
10. If you wish to archive accounting records older than a specified time period,
clear the Disable session archiving check box, and set the desired archival time
period in the Archive user sessions older than x days field.
If using SNAC for a network with a moderate number of logins (for example,
20,000 logins per day), HP recommends that you enable session archiving (clear
the Disable session archiving check box). This volume will not compromise the
responsiveness of IDM operations.
11. To archive the user session archive file in a location other than the default IDM
data archive directory, type the desired path in the Archive file directory field.
The default path is:
C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\PNM\server\idm\data
12. If you do not want to add a timestamp to the archive filename, clear the Use
timestamp in archive filename option.
If a timestamp is not used in the archive filename, the existing archive file is
overwritten each time user sessions are archived.
a. To insert a timestamp in the front of the archive filename, select the Prepend
timestamp to archive filename option.
b. To add a timestamp to the end of the archive filename, select the Append
timestamp to archive filename option.
13. Click OK to save your changes and exit the window.
