   MinAgentSocketSecurity		TLS 1.2	Sets the minimum encryption standard to be used for Agent connections. TLS 1.0: the Mediator generates a 1024-bit key. Because this is an outdated version that has been improved upon by later versions, Exabeam does not recommend using this option. TLS 1.2: the Mediator generates a 2048-bit key. This is the default and recommended option for all LogRhythm SIEM versions prior to 7.19. TLS 1.3: Newly added for LogRhythm SIEM version 7.19 is TLS 1.3. If the System Monitor and Data Processor both support TLS 1.3 (both are version 7.19 or higher), this option should be selected for the best performance and protection.
   MinUnprocessed DiskQueueSpace	1-1000	1	The minimum amount of space (in GB) that must be available on the volume that the Unprocessed Log Disk Queue spool files are being written to. If the minimum is reached, the mediator goes into suspend mode.

This parameter must be a static IP v4/v6 address with a maximum length of 45 or a DNS name with a maximum length of 255. DNS names are only supported for version 6.x System Monitors and later. You must configure your firewall or router to forward this IP/Port to the Primary Server. This is important for deployments that use NAT.

The Tertiary Server IP/Port must be forwarded to the Primary Server IP/Port by a firewall or router. This parameter must be a static IP v4/v6 address with a maximum length of 45 or a DNS name with a maximum length of 255. DNS names are only supported for version 6.x System Monitors and later. You must configure your firewall or router to forward this IP/Port to the Tertiary Server. This is important for deployments that use NAT.

   MaxInsertRate	1-100000	3000	This value determines the maximum number of Platform Manager logs that will be inserted per second. The insertion rate will not exceed this value. Note that this value is based on the performance profile of the system.
   MinEMInsert DiskQueueSpace	1-1000	1	The minimum of amount of space (in GB) that must be available on the volume that the PM Insert Disk Queue spool files are being written to. If the minimum is reached, the oldest spool files are deleted until the space used by the spool files is above the specified minimum.

   CacheSize_Dimension	1000-1000000	10000	Specify the size for the unique metadata value cache. There are nine metadata caches containing unique metadata values for processed log messages. The larger the queue size the more unique values will be stored in memory resulting in more efficient log processing. However setting queue size too high could result in excessive memory utilization.
   CacheSize_Msg	100000-5000000	200000	Specify the size for the unique log message cache. The larger the queue size, the more unique log messages will be stored in memory resulting in more efficient online log storage.
