Database

Old job data can be retained in the database for a specific number of days so that the hub database does not fill up the system.

Database expiry can be configured by setting jobs_ttl in Global Settings page in UI.

Clicking the Global Settings button displays a form for updating the jobs_ttl in days. The Save button will be enabled once the user changes the value in the field.

Timeouts

Hub manages many varied operations, at differing scale, across Sites which can be in different geo-locations.

As such, the time to complete operations may require tuning for the differing scenarios.

Additional timeout settings are available in the Administration Guide. See “Hub Configuration”.

Setting	Description	Default
Retry snapshot create and delete operations during snapdiff workflows for	Where snapshots operations are numerous or blocked by cluster behaviour, continue to retry snapshot creation and deletion within the timeout window	1000 seconds
Auto-fail Started tasks which have finished processing and have not returned payloads after	If a Job’s task has completed, but the results of the task have not been sent back to Hub (perhaps due to network, environmental or payload failure), set the task to state Failure after the timeout window has expired	3600 minutes
Wait for file and directory information in the Space browser for	During browsing of Spaces and similar file browser interfaces do not return disk usage and count information if no such information is received from the Pixstor Analytics after the timeout has expired	10 seconds
Wait for Pixstor Analytics responses on Storage Info pages for	During the browsing of Storage Info for a Site, do not return disk usage and count information if no such information is received from the Pixstor Analytics after the timeout has expired	10 seconds
Wait for Pixstor to apply settings changes for	When applying changes to Sites, wait the specified number of seconds for the Pixstor to respond to the action before failing the Settings task	60 seconds

Schedules

On the Schedules page, schedules can be enabled or disabled individually.

The Global Settings page provides the ability to disable all schedules at once.

Clicking the Global Settings button displays a “Schedules” toggle.

Set the toggle to disabled and click Save to disable all schedules.

No new scheduled jobs will start for as long as Schedules are disabled globally.

Any scheduled jobs which have already started when schedules are disabled will run to completion, but no new jobs for that schedule will start after that.

Set the toggle back to enabled and click Save to re-enable schedules globally. Any schedules which were disabled individually will remain disabled after Schedules are re-enabled globally.
