This page controls the various maintenance tasks that operate on the A3. These advanced settings should only be used under the direction of the support organization.

The general format and usage of this page is discussed in General GUI Usage.

If any of the task's settings are adjusted, then pfmon should be restarted to be immediately effective. Otherwise the settings will be used the next time the task runs. pfmon can be restarted on the Status > Services page. Find the pfmon row and press the RESTART button.

Each task can be enabled or disabled. Advanced settings can be edited by selecting the task's row.
