Property Tree

This page is accessed via Configuration and Administration > Property Management > Property Tree.

Note: The properties are displayed based on your User Role. The list of properties is controlled by access roles and differs between DEFAULT, ADMIN, and DBA.ADMIN users. Contact Support for more information. 

The property tree allows you to navigate through groups of properties. Click on each group to expand them and see the subgroups or properties. Tooltips describe the properties, and you can click on a property to open the Property Viewer page and see more details. You can use the Filter field to enter Regular Expressions to search for properties.

Some of the properties are displayed with a * in the name in the Property Tree and Property Information pages. These represent a string wildcard in the property name that can be replaced depending on the use case. For example, in the glog.cache.*.capacity properties, the * represents the cache name. There are many caches in the system, most with the same default value and not explicitly listed in Property Information. Caches with a non-standard size do explicitly appear on Property Information. 

Additionally, in the help the "*" is depicted by a word surrounded by brackets, such as "<name>".  What appears in the application as "glog.cache.*.capacity" is described in the help as "glog.cache.<name>.capacity" to better illustrate what sort of value you need to supply for that segment of the property. When setting this example property, you must set it with a valid cache name. Help contains a general description for a property with a variable string, but it may also selectively describe some, but not all, of the possible settings. Help does not offer a complete list of the variations on glog.cache.<name>.capacity, for example.  It generally focuses on variations with additional useful information.

In some cases, all options for a string wildcard may be pre-defined and available in Property Information. In others, the options may be more dynamic, even dependent on user data. Please check with Support if it's not clear what the correct value to use when replacing the * in the CUSTOM property set.
