The "Archivator" tab (Fig.4.6j) contains the basic settings. The structure of these settings may differ slightly from one module to another one of this subsystem as you can find in the own documentation of the modules. As an example we shall examine the settings of the value archiver from the module of the archiving on the file system Arch.FSArch Settings:
- Section "State" — contains the properties, which characterize the archiver state:
- Running — archiver state "Running". The running archiver processes the buffers of the value archives and puts their data in its repository, but also it processes requests for access to data in the repository.
- Archiving time — current and maximum time spent on the archiving of data of the buffers of the archives. Periodicity of archiving is set in the field "Period of the archiving" in the section "Configuration" of the tab.
- Storage — the archiver's data storage, with tracking the availability of the data in different storages and providing the sequentially removing duplicates.
- Overall size of the archiver files — information about the total size of the archiver files with the data.
- Section "Configuration" — directly contains the configuration fields:
- Identifier — information on the archiver identifier.
- Name — indicates the archiver name.
- Description — brief description of the archiver and its purpose.
- To start — indicates the state "Running" in which to transfer the archiver at the program startup.
- Address — address of the storage in the specific for the type of archiver (module) format. The format description usually available in the tooltip for this field. In the example it is the relative path to the storage directory.
- Period of the values — indicates the periodicity of the values those are contained in the archiver repository, in seconds.
- Period of the archiving — indicates the periodicity of an archiving task of data of the buffers of the archives, in seconds. The size of the buffers of the archives in the time expression must not be less, and preferably somewhat greater, then the periodicity of the of archiving task. Set a zero period to disable the use of the archiver in processing the buffer — just a direct recording.
- Selection priority — selection of a priority of the archiver for using in the source mode "All". Set to zero for full the selection disabling.
- Section "Additional options" — a specialized section for the module, the contents of which can be found in the documentation for the module.
