Use the Polling and Thresholds Console attached to the Failover Manager to view the default polling groups. The Failover Manager provides the following default polling groups:

  • Broker Groups

    • Brokers

  • Host Groups

    • Hosts

  • Service Groups

    • IP Manager Domains

    • SAM Domains

    • MPLS Domains

    • ESM Domains

    • NPM Domains

    • VoIP Domains

    • Other Domains

      Polling group target class and matching criteria lists the default polling groups and the associated target class and matching criterion and default setting for each group.

Note:

The Other Domains polling group has the lowest priority. Managed services that do not match the criteria for the other groups become members of the Other Domains polling group. Only configured services in failover.conf that match the type and attribute values in the “target class and matching criteria” column for a particular group can become members of that group.
