Genesys Pulse Configuration Options

The application templates for Genesys Pulse might contain other configuration options that are not described in this chapter. These options must remain set to the default values that are provided in the application templates. Changing these values might cause unexpected behavior.

You are not required to configure any options to start Genesys Pulse. Genesys Pulse supplies default values for all options that it requires to function.

GAX Application Object

[pulse] Section

cache_expire_timeout
Valid Values: zero or any positive number
Default Value: 1200
Changes Take Effect: After restart
Specifies how long, in seconds, that Genesys Pulse stores the results of the object accessibility check in order to reduce the load on the Configuration Server.

database_max_active_connections
Valid Values: any positive number
Default Value: 8
Changes Take Effect: After restart
Specifies the database connection pool size, which limits the maximum number of connections to the Genesys Pulse database. If you see large unexpected delays when you update dashboard or widgets, check the number of active database connections, and, if above the maximum, increase this parameter to improve performance.

Important

To ensure the proper Genesys Pulse behavior, Genesys recommends to set the value of the database_max_active_connections option to 8 or higher number.

editable_templates
Valid Values: true,false
Default Value: false
Changes Take Effect: After restart
Enables users with appropriate permissions to edit Genesys-provided templates. If false, even an Administrator cannot edit the default templates. Use this option to remove obsolete or unused templates (for example, iWD or Email). Use in conjunction with the install_templates option.

• stderr—Log events are sent to the Standard error output (stderr).
• network—Log events are sent to Message Server, which can reside anywhere on the network. Message Server stores log events in the Log Database.

  Setting the all log-level option to network enables Data Sourcer to send log events of Standard, Interaction, and Trace levels to Message Server. Log events of Debug level are neither sent to Message Server nor stored in the Log Database.

• memory—Log events are sent to the memory output on the local disk. This output is the safest in terms of the application performance.
• [filename]—Log events are stored in a file with the specified name. If you do not specify a path, the file is created in the application’s working directory.

Default Value: stdout
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies the outputs to which Data Sourcer sends all log events. You must separate log-output types with commas when you configure more than one output type.
For example, all = stdout, logfile
Notes:

• To ease the troubleshooting process, consider using unique names for log files that different applications generate.
• Relative file paths must begin with ./
  
  

buffering
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true,false
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies whether the operating system file buffering is on or off. This option applies only to stderr and stdout output. Setting this option to true increases output performance.
Note: When you enable buffering, log messages might appear in the log after a delay.

collector-log-level
Default Value: Info
Valid Values: Debug, Trace, Info, Warning, Error, Fatal (case insensitive)
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Defines log level for Genesys Pulse Collector log messages. Messages with severity below this level will not be logged.

• Info—brief informational and progress messages.
• Warning—minor recoverable errors or situations.
• Error—severe, but recoverable errors.
• Fatal—severe, unrecoverable errors.
  

Note: This option was introduced in Genesys Pulse Collector release 8.5.106. Log output of earlier Genesys Pulse Collector releases corresponds to the current Trace log level. For release 8.5.106 or later, the [log]/verbose option must be set to all in order to see log messages configured in the collector-log-level option.

segment
Valid Values:

• false—No segmentation allowed.
• <number> KB or <number>—Sets the maximum segment size in kilobytes. The minimum segment size is 100 KB.

• <number> hr—Sets the number of hours for which the segment stays open. The minimum number is 1 hour.

Default Value: 10 MB
Changes Take Effect: Immediately
Specifies if there is a segmentation limit for a log file. If there is, this option sets the unit of measurement along with the maximum size. If the current log segment exceeds the size set by this option, the current file is closed and a new file is created.

verbose
Valid Values:

• all—All log events (that is, log events of Standard, Trace, Interaction, and Debug levels) are generated if you set the debug-level option in the statserver section to all.
• debug—The same as all.
• trace—Log events of the Trace and higher levels (that is, log events of Standard, Interaction, and Trace levels) are generated, while log events of the Debug level are not generated.
• interaction—Log events of the Interaction and higher levels (that is, log events of Standard and Interaction levels) are generated, while log events of the Trace and Debug levels are not generated.
• standard—Log events of the Standard level are generated, while log events of the Interaction, Trace, and Debug levels are not generated.
• none—Produces no output.

Default Value: all
Changes Take Effect: Immediately Determines whether a log output is created. If it is, this option specifies the minimum level of log events that are generated. The log-event levels, starting with the highest-priority level, are Standard, Interaction, Trace, and Debug.
Refer to the Framework Deployment Guide or Framework Solution Control Interface Help for more information on the Standard, Trace, Interaction, and Debug log levels.

The valid object name format string is free text string, which allows values of object properties:
%<PropertyName>:<side><padding><length>%

• PropertyName—Specifies the property name.
  Note:Property names are case sensitive.
• side—Specifies the side, L (left) or R (right) , from where the length must be counted. If you do not specify a side, Genesys Pulse uses L by default.
  L is commonly used for string or text properties.
  R is commonly used for numbers.
• padding—Specifies the padding when the property value length is less than the specified custom length
  . (dot) to pad with space characters
  0 (zero) to pad with zero characters.
• length—Specifies the maximum number of characters for the property name.

Valid Object Name Format String	Description
%EmployeeID:10% %EmployeeID:L10%	Both specify 10 characters of property EmployeeID from the left side.
%EmployeeID:.10% %EmployeeID:L.10%	Specifies 10 characters of property EmployeeID from left, but if length was less than 4 symbols, pad it with spaces.
%DBID:R4%	Specifies 4 characters of property DBID from the right side.
%DBID:R04%	Specifies 4 characters of property DBID from the right side, but if the length is less than 4 characters, pads it with zeros.

Object Properties

The table below lists the object properties available for use in the format strings.

Object Type	Property	Description
All Object Types	CustomName	You can specify an object name to use only within Genesys Pulse that is different than the actual object name in the Configuration Server. When this is configured you can see the custom object name in Genesys Pulse widgets, although you still see the original object name when choosing objects for your widget in Genesys Pulse. This is the useful for Virtual Queues when their Display Name is used in strategies, but not recommended for Genesys Pulse. To configure a custom Genesys Pulse object name for Configuration Server object: Set the Object Annex option named display_name, placed in the [pulse] section for one or many objects. Configure Genesys Pulse Collector to use custom Genesys Pulse Object Name by configuring object name format with format string %CustomName%. The Object Name format is configured in Genesys Pulse Collector options section [object-name-format]. If the custom name is not defined, the %ObjectName% value is used. Special case: For the Campaign Calling List (assignment of a Calling List to a Campaign rather than a native Configuration Server object), the custom name is a combination of the custom names of the corresponding Calling List and Campaign name. If some part of this name is not defined, the %ObjectName% value is used.
All Object Types	DBID	Specifies the ID of the object. For example, Campaign Group is in group DBID, Campaign Calling List is in CallingList ID.
All Object Types	ObjectID	Specifies the ID number of the object in Genesys Pulse Collector. Notes: This is the typically the configuration layer DBID, but for some types of objects (for example, Campaign Group, Campaign Calling List) this is a composite 64-bit ID. The composite 64-bit ID is an unsigned 64-bit number with the following composition: higher 32 bits: DBID of Campaign lower 32 bits: DBID of Calling List or Agent/Place group
All Object Types	ObjectName	Specifies the name of the object, which is written to the snapshot file.
All Object Types	ObjectType	Specifies the type of the object.
All Object Types	TenantID	Specifies the Tenant ID of the object.
All Object Types	type	Specifies the type of the object.
Agent	EmailAddress	Specifies the email address of the agent (person).
