Maximum Time for Initial Installation Report

This parameter specifies the maximum time (in minutes) allowed for sending the initial agent installation report to the Policy Server.

Here's how you configure it.

• Parameter Name: MaxTimeToSendInstallationReport
• Parameter Type: String
• Parameter Value: Positive integral value
  
  Note:
• The initial report refers to the very first report sent after installing the desktop agent.

Minimum Time for Initial Installation Report

This parameter specifies the minimum time (in minutes) allowed for sending the initial agent installation report to the Policy Server.

Here's how you configure it.

• Parameter Name: MinTimeToSendInstallationReport
• Parameter Type: String
• Parameter Value: Positive integral value
  
  Note:
• The initial report refers to the very first report sent after installing the desktop agent.
• This timer is also used when sending an installation report after a component upgrade.
• This configuration is optional. If no value is set, the default is 0 minutes.
• The initial installation report is sent at a random time within the range between the minimum and maximum configured times.
  Example: If MinTimeToSendInstallationReport is 10 minutes and MaxTimeToSendInstallationReport is 30 minutes, the report will be sent at a random time within the 20-minute window.

Maximum Interval for Periodic Installation Reports

This parameter specifies the maximum time interval (in minutes) for sending a periodic agent installation report to the Policy Server.

Here's how you configure it.

• Parameter Name: MaxPeriodicTimeToSendInstallationReport
• Parameter Type: String
• Parameter Value: Positive integral value
  
  Note:
• The desktop agent sends periodic installation reports at defined intervals.
• This configuration is optional. If no value is set, the default is 1440 minutes (24 hours).

Minimum Interval for Periodic Installation Reports

This parameter specifies the minimum time interval (in minutes) for sending a periodic agent installation report to the Policy Server.

Here's how you configure it.

• Parameter Name: MinPeriodicTimeToSendInstallationReport
• Parameter Type: String
• Parameter Value: Positive integral value
  
  Note:
• The desktop agent sends periodic installation reports at defined intervals.
• This configuration is optional. If no value is set, the default is 0 minutes.
• The first periodic report is sent at a random time within the range between the minimum and maximum configured times.
• Subsequent periodic reports are sent at fixed intervals equal to the difference between the maximum and minimum values.
  Example: If MinPeriodicTimeToSendInstallationReport is 60 minutes and MaxPeriodicTimeToSendInstallationReport is 180 minutes, the first report will be sent at a random time within the 120-minute window, and subsequent reports will be sent every 2 hours.
• Randomizing the first report helps prevent all agents from sending reports at the same time, reducing load on the Policy Server.
