Properties (Number and Frequency) and Impact to BES Console Load time

Usage and Config Platform

Currently I have 500 properties on over 1200 clients that are running in various intervals between every report and 7 days.

My console takes a while to load and I see retrieved properties info at over 400K on the progress bar during startup (6.0)

Would cleaning up my properties help much? I can get rid of a number of them (30%) and I was looking to bump up the frequency from some set to 1 hour to 1/day but before I make those changes I wanted to confirm it will actually make a difference in my load time.

I didnt see this in the performance HTML specically call out properties and was hoping to get some info.

Thanks!

By far the best thing you can do to improve console performance given a bunch of properties is to upgrade to 7.x

Changing the frequency of reporting won’t impact console performance much (although it will help out your clients a little).

Deleting properties will help some.

Would Deactivating the Analyses where the properties be located have a similar effect? I was going to make exports of the items I would be removing, but if turning the off would do the same in regards to not pinging for that information anymore, I’d rather do that.

So Deactivate or Delete?

If you deactivate, the console will still load the property results into memory. You need to delete them to get performance gains.

Is there a reason you can’t upgrade to 7.x? In 7.x property results are only loaded on demand so the total number of properties doesn’t impact performance. Instead only the number of properties you’ve looked at the results for in a given console session will be impact performance.
