Configure Intelligent Management properties for web servers

Define and configure the Intelligent Management properties to modify the Intelligent Management capabilities of the web server.
After you enable Intelligent Management, we can specify new properties for the web server. The new properties display in the generated plugin-cfg.xml configuration file as <Property name="aaa" value="bbb"/> under the IntelligentManagement element. Use the new properties to configure or modify the Intelligent Management capabilities of the web server.
The following advanced custom properties are available by default. Do not modify these properties.

Name Value Description
DefaultRequestTraceSpec Any valid trace specification. For example: http.request:DEBUG

Default value: NOTICE
Use this custom property to trace individual requests, if none of the per-request conditional trace rules matches those requests. If this custom property is set, every request that does not match a trace rule condition is traced with this specification. If this custom property is not set, the requests are traced based on the overall control or HTTP specification. For more information about the trace setting hierarchy, read about configuring trace on the web server plug-in.
MaxElapsedTimePerRequestInSeconds Seconds

Default value: There is no time limit
Specify the amount of time in seconds Intelligent Management will try to find an end point for a request once it arrives. After this specified time, it will stop finding an end point and return.
MaxHttpContextPoolSize Maximum number of HTTP request contexts to be pooled or cached.

Default value: -1 (unlimited)
This property is the maximum number of HTTP request contexts, which are pooled or cached. If the value is -1, there is no limit; otherwise, the pool size is limited. When the number of concurrent requests for a single Apache process exceeds this limit, contexts are disposed off rather than returned to the pool. Large amounts of pooled HTTP requests limits the amount of memory used, and decreases performance during a burst of concurrent requests.
MaxSecondsToWaitDuringAtomicRollout Seconds

Default value: 3 seconds
This property is the maximum number of seconds that a single request can wait when it routs to an application during an atomic rollout. By allowing a request to wait, it returns successfully rather than returning with a service not available error response (for example, HTTP 503 error code).

To define an Intelligent Management property, follow this procedure:

In the console, click Servers > Server types > Web servers > web_server_name > Intelligent Management > Intelligent Management plug-in properties, and click New.

On the Intelligent Management properties configuration page, specify the plug-in properties. Enter an arbitrary name and value. The name is a property key. The value is a string value to be used for setting the internal system configuration properties. Click Apply, and the web server uses the new Intelligent Management property. Click OK to save the input.

To modify an Intelligent Management property, follow this procedure:

In the console, click Servers > Server types > Web servers > web_server_name > Intelligent Management > Intelligent Management plug-in properties > intelligent_management_property_name.

On the Intelligent Management properties configuration page, modify the plug-in properties. Click Apply, and the web server uses the modified Intelligent Management property.
