Issue/Introduction

Is there a way to change the dashboard's 'default time' of 1 Hour when entering the NetOps Portal / Performance Center ?

Environment

CA Performance Center 3.x
NetOps Portal 20.2.x - 21.2.x

Resolution

This is configurable on the http://<PCHOST>:8181/pc/center/admin/debug/attrs page. Use the admin account to login.
On that page there is a System.DefaultTimeRange which defaults to 0 (Last Hour).  Simply change the number and hit the Update button.

Here are the allowable values:

• Last Hour = 0
• Last 4 Hours = 1
• Last 8 Hours = 2
• Last 24 Hours = 3
• Last 7 Days = 4
• Last 14 Days = 5
• Last 30 Days = 6
• Last 3 Months = 7
• Last 12 Months = 8
• Yesterday = 10
• Previous Week = 11
• Previous Month = 12
• Today = 14
• Current Week = 15
• Current Month = 16

 

Now log out of NetOps Portal / Performance Center and log back in again, and all dashboards will have a default time that corresponds to the value set for the System.DefaultTimeRange attribute.

Additional Information

Note: this initial time range is a system wide setting.  It cannot be applied for a specific role or user.
