ServerConductor/Blade Server Manager Description and Reference
This menu is used to set information communication and alerts for the agent service. The table below describes the setting items on the agent settings menu. The setting items displayed on the menu depend on the version of the agent service and the OS.

| KeepaliveInterval | 600 | When the keep-alive option is enabled, specify a keep-alive interval (in seconds). The permitted value range is from 1 to 3,600. When you set a keep-alive interval, make sure that the specified value is greater than the command timeout value (setting item: CommandTimeout). |
| ShutdownDemand | True | Set whether a shutdown request from the console service is to be accepted. To accept such requests, set True. |

| CautionAlert | True | Set True to send caution alerts (cautionary warning information information). In the server alert log, information about the alerts that have occurred is recorded whether this setting is True or False. |

| AlertCapacity | 1,024 | Set the amount (in kilobytes) of alert log information that can be stored before a warning is to be sent to the management console (alert log information is saved as one file per day). The permitted value range is from 0 to 1,048,576. The default is 1,024 kilobytes. If 0 is set, no warning will be sent. An alert log file is saved with the date as the file name (the extension is .log) in the /var/opt/htcsma directory (for example, the log file created for December 1, 2004, is saved under file name 20041201.log). |
| SyslogOutput | False | Set True to send to syslog the alerts that are to be sent to the console service. Only the alerts that are reported to the console service are output. |

When 0 is set, the session will not be closed. |
