    Name of the private key for authentication at the SAP Host Agent.

    The name of the private key for the client certificate in the key storage view "LVMView".

    If not set, basic authentication will be applied using the configured default SAP Host Agent user name and password.

    If provided, this certificate will be used by the landscape scanner for authentication at the SAP Host Agent.

    Authentication using a certificate also requires that secure communication is enabled for the SAP Host Agent.

    Time Interval for Single Complete Landscape Scan [hours]

    24

    1 - 720

    During the specified time interval, SAP Landscape Management scans the complete landscape by executing the recurring background job LVM_Job_LandscapeWatchDog.

    Scan results of subsequent landscape scans overwrite previous landscape scan results.

    Time Interval Between Recurring Background Job Executions [seconds]

    300

    60 - 3600

    For a single complete landscape scan, the background job LVM_Job_LandscapeWatchDog is executed periodically.

    The parameter specified defines the time interval between such recurring job executions. This time interval is much shorter than the time interval for a single complete landscape scan.

    Lifetime of Diagnostic Messages for Landscape Scan Results [hours]

    24

    1 - 720

    If the landscape scanner finds new host or instances, these scan results are displayed on the Diagnostic Messages pod on the dashboard.
