Turn off tooltips

Turning off Host (Icon View) tooltips in the Platform Management Console is helpful for performance tuning in clusters with more than 1000 hosts. If tooltips are enabled in clusters of this size, a 5-10 second delay may occur whenever you use the Host (Icon View) page.

  1. With an XML editor, open pmc_conf_ego.xml.
    • Windows: EGO_TOP\gui\conf\pmcconf\pmc_conf_ego.xml

    • Linux: EGO_TOP/gui/conf/pmcconf/pmc_conf_ego.xml

    If you ran egoconfig mghost, then pmc_conf_ego.xml is located in the EGOshare directory:
    • Windows: EGOshare\gui\conf\pmcconf\pmc_conf_ego.xml

    • Linux: EGOshare/gui/conf/pmcconf/pmc_conf_ego.xml

  2. In the configuration section, locate the parameter: <Name>hostTooltipsFlag</Name>.
  3. In this parameter, change <Value>true</Value> to <Value>false</Value>.
  4. Save and close the file.
  5. Restart the WEBGUI service.

Tooltips for your Host (Icon View) page no longer appear. Only the host state displays when you roll the mouse over a host icon (for example, “OK”).
