Property Format

This section describes the format for Monitor properties in the rtview.properties file. All properties have the prefix sl.rtview which is followed by a property name = value pair: sl.rtview.<property_name>=:<value>. For example, to specify the Data Server port number globally:

sl.rtview.dataserver.port=3278

Property Filters

Filters are available to apply limit the scope to which a property is applied. Filters precede the sl.rtview property prefix followed by a period (.): <property_filter>.sl.rtview.<property_name>=:<value>.

For example, to specify the Data Server port number to only proxy clients, we use the proxyclient filter: proxyclient.sl.rtview.dataserver.port=3278

The following Monitor property filters are predefined and apply automatically depending on what tool is being executed:
