Intent Timer Manager

Intent timers are applied to schedule intent decoding and execution. The system provides built-in intent timers. Plus, you can add new intent timers according to your needs.

You can click the icon at the upper right of the Installed Intents pane, then select Manage Intent Timer to add a new timer and manage timers.

Note: To manage intent timers in the system, you must have the privilege of Shared Resource Management. If you do not have the corresponding privilege, a message will prompt you when you add, edit or delete the intent timer.

• All the existing intent timers are organized in the left pane. You can click an intent timer item in the list to view its details.
• The lower area of the left pane presents the basic information of the selected intent timer item.
• The Subscribed Intents for Baseline Service area to the right displays how many NITs use the current timer for baseline service.
• The Subscribed Intents for Probe Triggering Service area to the right displays how many NITs use the current timer for probe triggering service.

Built-in Intent Timer

The system has some pre-defined intent timers provided to users. These intent timers can also be edited to meet your requirements.

Pre-defined Intent Timers:

In the Manage Intent Timer Service window, you can disable the services provided by an intent timer to an intent. Then the intent timer no longer applies to this intent.

• Disable baseline decoding for an intent: Uncheck an intent item in the Subscribed Intents for Baseline Service area.
  

A message will pop up to ask you to confirm the action.

• Disable probe triggering service for an intent: Uncheck an intent item in the Subscribed Intents for Probe Triggering Service area.
  
• A message will pop up to ask you to confirm the action.
