General Configuration Fields

Field	Description
NxTop Center Host Name	The DNS name of the server hosting NxTop Center. NxTop Engines use this name to connect to NxTop Center.
NxTop Engine Client Port	The port used by NxTop Engines to communicate with NxTop Center. For display purposes only; cannot be modified through this panel.
NxTop Name Template	NxTop Center uses the template to create a default name for a newly created NxTop. The user can override this value at creation time.
Computer Name Template	NxTop Center uses this template to create a unique computer name for each user-instance of a NxTop. This allows multiple users of the same NxTop to operate on the same network without a collision.
	The templates provide a means of creating unique names for NxTops or computer names built out of elements as described here. The 15-character limit is for the resolved name, not the template itself.
Disk Mount Location	This is the drive number assigned to disks mounted while a NxTop is running in the NxTop Center Console. Default = M.
Repository Threshold	The Repository is where client downloads, backups and diagnostics are stored. The threshold value is the minimum amount of disk space that must be available for web operations. If less storage space is available, NxTop Center issues warnings and rejects operations that will use space, like uploading backups.   If this field is set to 0, NxTop Center does not check for available disk space.
Workspace Threshold	This is the minimum amount of space that must be available in the Hyper-V workspace for NxTop Center Console to operate.   If this field is set to 0, NxTop Center does not check for available disk space.

In the event of lack of space warnings:

• In NxTop Center
  • delete older backups
  • delete NxTops not in use
  • delete items in Software Library not in use
• Outside NxTop Center
  • delete other files on the server
  • move files to other drives
  • delete files already imported from the NxTop Center FileImport folder
