When a Dashboard (embedded or standalone) is installed as a Windows Service, it is configured with specific Java parameters, for example initial memory pool and max memory pool amongst others:
--JvmMx 1024 --JvmMs 256
It is sometimes necessary to modify these parameters, however, it is not possible to do so by right clicking the service in the Windows Service snap-in and choosing Properties:
Instead CAST provides a specific tool with the installed Dashboard that allows you to view these Java parameters:
%PROGRAMFILES%\CAST\Dashboards\<folder>\dashboard-service-monitor.bat
Running this batch file will launch the Windows Service snap-in and the Java parameters will be available for modification:
Note that if you are using ≤ 2.11.1, the dashboard-service-monitor.bat tool is not available. However, it can be created manually with the following script, changing the value of set SERVICE_NAME to match the name of your installed Windows Service:
@echo off :: First, change for directory = the complete directory of current batch file set WORKING_PATH=%~dp0 cd /d %WORKING_PATH% set SERVICE_EXE=dashboard-servicew set SERVICE_NAME=<change to match your service name> :: Launch Windows Service monitor GUI %SERVICE_EXE% //ES//%SERVICE_NAME%
The SERVICE_NAME is defined here:
