Configuring HBR Global Settings

In the [HBR] section of DiscoverCaptureSocket.cfg, please review the following settings.

Table 1. HBR configuration parameters - Global settings
Setting Description
MaxSessions Defines the number of rows in HBR's session table, which is the maximum number of sessions that HBR manages.
When a new session arrives to HBR, the oldest one is removed. The default value is 100,000.
Note: HBR requires sessionized data.
DefaultPerSecMax Maximum hits/sec per target canister. The default value is 300.
RoutingMethod Defines the method of routing sessions to each canister:
  • Equal - each canister receives the same number of sessions. The default value is Equal.
  • Biased - All traffic is delivered to the first canister until it can handle no more, at which the excess traffic is routed to the second canister until it can handle no more.
StartUpRouting Routing information in the absence of Canister status.
LocalSSPort Port number for local SearchServer. The default is the value stored in the local registry.
InitTimeOut Time in seconds that HBR waits for initialization, which is complete after DecoupleEx is initialized. The default value is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
HBRAppName AppName from .cfg file in which the [HBR] section resides, which enables HBR to be in a child pipeline. The default value is DiscoverCSS_1966.
is32To64bitConversionNeeded Manages the data conversion for an HBR server that uses a 64-bit pipeline component.

Valid values are True or False.

If HBR is using a 64-bit pipeline, set is32To64bitConversionNeeded to True. Setting is32To64bitConversionNeeded to True ensures that 32-bit hits flowing from DNCA to the HBR are converted to 64-bit.

If HBR is not using 64-bit pipeline, set is32To64bitConversionNeeded to False. Setting is32To64bitConversionNeeded to False, ensures that 32-bit hits flowing from DNCA to the HBR are not converted to 64-bit.
