Event Import Options 
Event Run Limit
Defines the total number of events to import into the console for each run of the background processors.

Lowering this value may decrease cpu utilization, but may cause delays in event importing if new events per 5 seconds is greater than this value.

Increasing this value may increase cpu utilization, but will import events quicker.

 
  
Permissions Options 
Permissions Checking & Repair
Enables or disables automatic file permissions checking and attempted repairing of incorrect file or directory permissions.  
  
Email Options 
Email Flood Protection
This option protects email recipients from accidental email floods originated by the console.  
Email Flood Threshold
Defines the maximum number of emails to be transmitted by the console for each run of the background processors.  
  
Host Options 
Hostname Lookups
This option enables / disables console address to hostname lookups.  
  
Reprocess HostnamesReprocess Immediately
This operation clears all hostname entries from the system and resets the tracking mechanism allowing hostname lookups to be processed again.

Select the event data to be indexed for searching when importing events into the console from snort and syslog.

Indexing creates search lookup tables to allow search functionality within the console.

Indexing directly affects system performance; Selecting fewer index options will increase overall performance.

 
Index Run Limit
Defines the total number of events to index (create search records) for each run of the background processors.

Lowering this value may decrease cpu utilization, but may cause delays in events being searchable after they are imported.

Increasing this value may increase cpu utilization, but will index events (make searchable) quicker.

 
Rebuild IndexesRebuild Immediately
This operation forces a complete rebuild of the consoles event indexing (search records) system.

Performing this operation is necessary if you believe searched data is not accurate or reporting may be out of sync.

This operation should also be performed whenever the primary data view is changed within the Archive Manager.

* This operation can be processor intensive.
