article Enabling a UI-only up.time instance

For environments with many users and a fairly heavy monitoring load, setting up a dedicated UI (user interface) instance can often help to improve data collection performance and UI responsiveness.

 

To configure up.time versions prior to 5.2 to run only with the user interface and skip all data collection tasks, add the following line to the /uptime.conf file and then restart the up.time data collector core service:

uiOnlyInstance=true

To configure up.time version 5.2 or later to run only with the user interface and skip all data collection tasks, add the following 3 lines to the /uptime.conf file and then restart the up.time data collector core service:

uiOnlyInstance=true

uiOnlyInstance.monitoringStationHost=HOSTNAME

uiOnlyInstance.monitoringStationCommandPort=9996

 

Where HOSTNAME is the hostname or IP address of the up.time data collector system.

Note that you will also need to set the appropriate DB settings in the uptime.conf file of the UI-only instance (i.e. identical to the uptime.conf file in the data collector).
