Turn off Time Out on Operations Screen

I was looking for a post I had read sometime back about the screen timeout in Nagios XI being controlled by the web server.
I was hoping there was a way to disable the timeout on the Operations Screen. We had hoped to use that as a status screen for our help desk, but it's not working too well because of the timeouts.

The best you can do on the server side is to increase the "session.gc_maxlifetime" value in the "/etc/php.ini" but this is not going to solve the issue entirely. The session will still time out, unless you refresh the page on your browser (client side) once in a while. In Firefox, you can probably install "ReloadEvery" add-on and reload the page every "n" seconds/minutes. This may resolve your issue.

If you use the Rotate Views feature (on the Views tab) then the screen gets refreshed and should not timeout.

Great idea on using the Views, I'll give that a shot.
