Configure Display Persist Time for Ping Requests

When a user performs a ping request, a record of that request and its results is created in Responder Explorer > Ping Requests tab.

Users are not able to manually remove ping request records from this tab. Instead, you configure at a system level how long these ping request records are viewable in the Ping Requests display.

To set the persist time for ping request records, follow these steps:

Navigate to the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Miner and Miner\Responder\Integration\Ami Outbound Service
Open the Miner.Responder.RxIF.AmiOutboundService XML configuration file in a text editor such as Notepad ++.
Locate the appSetting “Ami.PersistMeterPingDuration”

TIP: The easiest way to locate the proper setting is to search for PersistMeterPing.
Set the duration value. The time format of the value is hr:min:sec. In the following example, it is set to 8 hours. Ping requests older than this value are removed when the TableMaintenanceProcessor runs (the TableMaintenanceProcessor interval is also configured in the same XML configuration file).
```
<appSettings>
   <add key="Ami.PersistMeterPingDuration" value="08:00:00" />
</appSettings>
```
Restart the RxIF AMI Outbound Service to enact your change for your users.
