Polling settings

Application Connectivity Monitor provides the following polling settings:

TCP Check
Script Based Software Check
External Software Element Check

TCP Check

The TCP Check setting provides the parameter used to control polling. Table TCP Check parameter describes the TCP Check parameter.

Table 1. TCP Check parameter
Parameter	Value	Description
AnalysisMode	ENABLED, DISABLED Default: ENABLED	Enables or disables script monitoring. If enabled, a check object is created for each members on reconfiguration. If disabled, previous check objects are removed after reconfiguration.
PollingInterval	30 to 3600 seconds Default: 240 seconds	The number of retry connectivity polls toperform when the initial poll fails. IA launches the script at this interval.
Retries	0 to 10 retries Default: 3	The number of retry connectivity polls to perform after the initial poll fails.
Timeout	10 to 10000 milliseconds Default: 700 milliseconds	The time to wait for the poll response before the first poll request times out. The timeout value doubles for each successive retry.

Script Based Software Check

The Script Based Software Check setting provides the parameter used to control polling. Table Script Based Software Check parameters describes the Script Based Software Check parameter.

Table 2. Script Based Software Check parameters
Parameter	Value	Description
AnalysisMode	ENABLED, DISABLED Default: ENABLED	Enables or disables script monitoring. If enabled, a check object is created for each members on reconfiguration. If disabled, previous check objects are removed after reconfiguration.
MA_ContextGrouping	MONITORING_ACTION_NAME POLLING_GROUP NONE Default: NONE	Allows group of software service to be monitored by single instance of script.
MA_ExtraParameter	Example: LastLogin	The additional parameters specified to pass the script. This is optional and specifying this is left to the discretion of the script writer.
MA_MonitoringAction	Example: MA_SMTP_CHECK	The name of the custom monitoring script.
MA_Trace	True False	The boolean value that enables or disables the script tracing.
PollingInterval	30 to 3600 seconds Default: 240 seconds	The number of retry connectivity polls to perform after the initial poll fails.
Timeout	10 to 10000 milliseconds Default: 700 milliseconds	Amount of time to wait for the poll response before the first poll request times out. The timeout value doubles for each successive retry.

External Software Element Check

The External Software Element Check setting provides the parameter used to control polling. Table External Software Element Check parameters describes the External Script Based Software Check parameter. It is recommended to use this setting for test or development purpose only.

Table 3. External Software Element Check parameters
Parameter	Value	Description
AnalysisMode	ENABLED, DISABLED Default: ENABLED	Enables or disables script monitoring. If enabled, a check object is created for each members on reconfiguration. If disabled, previous check objects are removed after reconfiguration.
MA_ContextGrouping	MONITORING_ACTION_NAME POLLING_GROUP NONE Default: NONE	Allows group of software service to be monitored by single instance of script. Note: This is not used in an External Script Element Check.
MA_ExtraParameter	Example: LastLogin	The additional parameters specified to pass the script. This is optional and specifying this is left to the discretion of the script writer. Note: This is not used in an External Script Element Check.
MA_MonitoringAction	Example: MA_SMTP_CHECK	The name of the custom monitoring script.
MA_Trace	True False	The boolean value that enables or disables the script tracing.
PollingInterval	30 to 3600 seconds Default: 240 seconds	The number of retry connectivity polls to perform after the initial poll fails.
Timeout	10 to 10000 milliseconds Default: 700 milliseconds	Amount of time to wait for the poll response before the first poll request times out. The timeout value doubles for each successive retry.
