    * **Device state synchronization:** If active, Pro.Monitor will detect when a device is set in maintenance mode in ScienceLogic and automatically pause and resume the monitoring.
    * **Max chunk size:** The maximum number of alerts or metrics waiting in the output buffer. Used to limit the memory usage if events are created faster than consumed.

  * In most cases, the secure mode will only work if you register the server certificate in the Pro.Monitor certificate store:
    * Export the certificate by connecting in HTTPS to the API with a browser, with the CER format.
    * Insert the certificate to the store with the following command:
    * //keytool -import -trustcacerts -keystore ../lib/security/cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt -alias yourAliasName -file path\to\certificate.cer
