 ====== System settings ====== ====== System settings ======
 +System settings page specify the following: 
 +  *Project's title, language, appearance and performance parameters 
 +  *Depth & limit of data storage in log 
 +  *ModBus/TCP server configuration 
 +  *Enabling/Disabling some optional services

 + 
 +==== Communication interval ====
  
 Specifies the period of data exchange with the connected devices. WebHMI reads all registers from all devices one by one. One such cycle is named scan. When possible WebHMI will insert delays between scans so they will run with specified interval.  Specifies the period of data exchange with the connected devices.

 This settings should be set reasonably. If you need to 'have time' to query a large amount of data for a second, first you need to increase the speed of communication with devices, use the priority of reading the registers in conjunction with the option 'strict scan', do not read the auxiliary registers unnecessarily (use the [[On-demand registers|read on-demand option]] for this). This settings should be set reasonably.

-===== Strict scan =====+==== Strict scan ====
 This option allows to get a time-determined scan. It is usable for projects with hundreds and thousands of registers on slow serial connections. This option allows to get a time-determined scan. It is usable for projects with hundreds and thousands of registers on slow serial connections.
  
Line 24: Line 42:
 Critical registers should be given high priority in the register properties. And registers with normal priority should be set individually significantly longer polling time than the default scan interval. This will make WebHMI poll them less frequently and make Strict Scan feature possible. Critical registers should be given high priority in the register properties.

-===== Interface refresh =====+==== Interface refresh ====
 WebHMI uses Comet technology to push register value changes into browser at the end of every scan where it was changed. Sometimes register value changes too often. To save traffic and resources you can throttle send interval. You can tell WebHMI send these update not often than some interval. This setting is adjustable between 100 ms. up to 5 sec. WebHMI uses Comet technology to push register value changes into browser at the end of every scan where it was changed.

-===== Hide menu =====+==== Override screen resolution ==== 
 + 
 +Some devices’ OS, like smartTV, may report wrong resolution for the browser, lowering it for a convenient view. In most cases this is not desired behaviour in the monitoring systems, because the visualization is developed for the specific display resolution. Now you can force screen resolution to desired.

-===== Log level ===== +==== Log level ==== 
-This option sets level of the system log detail, possible values:+

     * **Errors** - errors only     * **Errors** - errors only

-===== Keep data in log for ===== +**Clear comm log from page** 
-This option sets the depth of storage of the stored data (logs of registerseventsdata of graphs)+ 
 +The amount of data in the communication log can sometimes become large, for example, when there are errors or when the trace mode is enabled. When searching for the required data block in itsometimes it is necessary to clean the communication logsince it is constantly being overwritten (due to the size limitation). Now you can clear the communication log directly from its page, and not return to a separate menu.

 +===== Storage settings =====
 +
 +These settings affect storage scenario.
 +  ***Disk**: For WebHMI,  use External disk settings. For other target platforms you may want to use one drive for both the system & storage volumes.
 +  ***Limit log storage time & Log disk space limit** settings control when the log data will be automatically deleted from the database - either on aging above set storage time, or when free room on the volume will critically shrink.

 +===== Services ===== 
 + 
 +In this tab, you can switch on/off several services. Disabling services, that you won't need in the project frees up some OS resources what might be of use in very big projects where the WebHMI is heavily loaded. 
 + 
 +  ***FTP server**   - handles FTP requests to the WebHMI. [[ftp_server|Read more ...]] 
 +  ***MQTT server**  - enables local MQTT broker process   [[iot:tutorial:mqtt | Read more ...]] 
 +  ***Zabbix agent** - this one is for internal use and had been activly in use during early WebHMI installatoin commissioning purposes. May be switched off. 
 +  ***Virtual COM port server** - this one enables a "serial over ethernet" service. [[remote_service_access#establishing_communication_with_remote_devices_behind_the_gateway_via_a_virtual_com_port | Read more ... ]]

 +===== MQTT server ===== 
 +You can read more about MQTT on [[iot:tutorial:mqtt|this]] page 
 + 
 +{{ :settings:new-settings-mqtt.png?direct&800 |}} 
 + 
 +You can add several listeners on different TCP/IP ports which will handle MQTT connections to the WebHMI broker.
