Last connection
This option is effective when the console is connected to the management server or to a registered
machine (p. 238).
The option defines whether to alert if no connection was established between a registered machine
and the management server for a period of time so indicating that the machine might not be
centrally managed (for instance in the case of network connection failure to that machine). You can
configure the length of time that is considered critical.
The preset is: alert if the machine's last connection to the management server was more than 5 days
ago.
