Nutanix Prism – Change or Disable Logout Timeout Setting

You can now set or disable the timeout for Prism within the GUI with NOS 4.1.3, which is now available via one-click upgrade.

Prism Web Console/Prism Central

You can set a timeout value after which you are automatically logged out of the Prism or Prism Central web console. This setting prevents you from being automatically logged out after 15 minutes of inactivity.
