Configuring timeout period for saveset removal request

By default, the timeout period for saveset removal request is set to 600 seconds. When the Web Service Worker Process (nvwsworker) sends the delete request to Media Manager, it waits for 600 seconds. If the Media Manager is unable to complete the request within this period, the Web Service Worker Process times out and reports an error (“Failed to receive reply from Media Manager”). If you receive this error, change the SavesetRemoveTimeout setting in the webservice.cfg file.

1
Open the file webservice.cfg in a text editor. You can find this file in the config directory under the NetVault Backup installation directory.
2
In the [WebService] section, configure the value for the SavesetRemoveTimeout setting:

Configuring Auditor Daemon settings

This section includes the following topics:

About Auditor Daemon

The Auditor Daemon (nvavp) tracks and controls all user activities in NetVault Backup. This process runs on the NetVault Backup Server. The Auditor Daemon validates each user request, and depending on the assigned privileges, allows or denies a request. Audit log messages are stored in the NetVault Database.

By default, the Auditor Daemon logs every user activity regardless of whether the request is granted or denied. It automatically deletes the log messages that are older than 31 days. You can configure the Auditor Daemon to log only failed user requests. You can also modify the default settings to change the maximum age for log messages.

You can modify the Auditor Daemon settings from the Change Settings page.

Configuring Auditor to log only failed requests

By default, the Auditor Daemon logs every user request, regardless of whether the request is granted or denied. You can configure the Auditor Daemon to log only failed user requests.

2
On the NetVault Backup Server Settings page, under System and Security, click Auditing. In the Auditing dialog box, configure the following setting:
Only record failed requests in the audit trail: To log only failed user requests, select this check box.
3
Click Apply to apply the new settings and close the dialog box.
