How do I know if my NetWitness decoders and concentrators settings are correct?

[RSAAdmin]

Below are all the same questions:

In decoder and concentrator explorer view in Administrator, there are various settings under /decoder(or concentrator)/config; /database/config and /index/config nodes.

• What are the proper settings for them?
• How do I know if settings are correctly set for my decoders and concentrators?

• How do I optimize these settings?

Answer:

Starting in 9.6.5.4, we introduced a reconfig option which will reconfigure and optimize your NetWitness decoder and concentrator /decoder(or concentrator)/config, /database/config and /index/config settings based on decoder and concentrator hardware.

Please refer to Sales Froce KB article for detailed steps on how to perform reconfig operations: Solution: Reconfig and optimize 9.6.5.4 and above decoder and concentrator settings

Please try to optimize these settings if you encounter performance related issues first.

Every time you perform a reconfig operation, it'll require a service restart. So if you plan to reconfig all 3 nodes (decoder|concentrator; database and index); you should reconfig all 3 of them first, then do a service restart once to reconfig settings for all 3 nodes.
