Monitoring
To change the preferences for monitoring, select the menu:
- File, Preferences or click on the Preferences button in the File Toolbar (a red screwdriver)
- Then choose the Monitor tab
The following values can be set:
- ICMP Polling
- Every: will start polling the view repeatedly with this time interval (in seconds).
- Timeout: wait this interval for the response to the fist Ping. After the first Ping, 2 other Ping are done, doubling each time this interval (in milliseconds)
- Alerts threshold :
- The alerts will be triggered when a node is DOWN more then ... seconds: this will allow a delay before sending the alert. You have to set this value according to your needs. A longer value will not detect a short down of the nodes.
- Log all UP and DOWN events to file: Each UP and DOWN alert event is written to a history file (also using the above threshold !). The document filename and a .his extension are used for creating this text file. You can use the menu Logs, Event Log to view the file.
Important note:
All the alerts (emails, sounds, custom alerts, and also the event log file) depend on the alert threshold. When a node is down,
- the map displays a red icon as soon as the ICMP polling detects it.
- if you specify a threshold of 30 seconds, the event log entries, sounds, emails and custom alerts are triggered 30 seconds later.
