The General tab of the data provider properties dialog box is where you can change the name, description, and logging settings.

To access the properties of a data provider in the Administration area:

  1. Select Data Providers in the left pane under Configuration Items. The data providers configured are listed in the right pane.
  2. Select a data provider to change in the right pane and click Properties in the Data Provider ribbon group or right-click it and select Properties from the right-click menu.

    The Properties dialog box is displayed.

  3. Select the General tab.
  4. Type a name for the data provider in the Name field. The name should be unique and allow the data provider to be easily distinguished from other data providers.
  5. Type a brief description of the data provider in the Description field. The description should briefly explain what the data provider is and what type of data a user can expect to retrieve from it.
    Note:

    The Data Provider Type is a read-only field and cannot be changed. To adjust the data provider type you must create a new data provider. See Creating New Data Providers.

  6. Select Log data provider execution to include the elapsed time of data retrieval and runtime parameter information for this data provider in the History log. Data requests for the data provider are always logged in the history even if this option is deselected.
  7. Click OK to save your changes and close the Properties dialog box.
