Since Storage Manager has a woefully short login timeout by default, and since we were told by support to reset it to default after we increased it, I would love it if Storage Manager could remember what I was looking at when I last logged in.
Hi Tom,
Were you told to do this within the context of a Support ticket? If so, can you please send me the ticket number? I don't know of any reason why changing the timeout default would cause a problem.
We were told to do so within the context of a support ticket, but it was a long time ago, so I can't recall the SR #.
I'm not sure why this would be a problem. Regardless of your listed request (which is still totally valid), if you want to set your timeout back, you can do so with the following steps:
Edit: C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Storage Manager Server\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\web.xml
And configure:
<session-config>
<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>
This is the time in minutes.
If you want this set for infinity insert -1 <I wouldn’t recommend this it prevents garbage collection activities of the Apache Tomcat Webserver>
My recommendation on the infinity number comes from some light reading here: The Apache Tomcat Connector - Generic HowTo - Timeouts HowTo
