Managing the dashboard configuration file

The dashboard configuration file named configuration.xml is located at %PROGRAMFILES%\
HP\HP StoreEasy Data Service\UserConfigurationFiles\. This file is used to define
and control the behavior of various user interface elements of the dashboard. Using the dashboard
configuration file, you can set the warning and alert threshold parameters, data sampling
parameters, and other properties. When you modify the dashboard configuration file and save
the changes, the dashboard services update the data depending on the updated time interval
