Change the time-to-stale value

Services include a time in minutes that, when it receives no response, the service changes to a Stale Data state. You may want to increase or decrease that time, depending on the environment or situations around your customers' devices. For example, for backup, you may want to receive notifications of backup after a longer time than the default one day (1440 minutes), because a workstation may only be offline. Changing it to five days (79,200 minutes).
