Default polling groups

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

  • ESM 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.

Table 1. Polling group target class and matching criteria

Polling group	Target class and matching criteria	Default settings
Brokers	InChargeBroker with attributes IsManaged = TRUE Name = Broker*	Service Connectivity Polling
Hosts	Host with attributes IsManaged = TRUE	Host Connectivity Polling
IP Manager Domains	InChargeService with attributes IsManaged = TRUE ServerType = AM|PM|AMPM	Service Connectivity Polling
SAM Domains	InChargeService with attributes IsManaged = TRUE ServerType = SAM|OI	Service Connectivity Polling
ESM Domains	InChargeService with attributes IsManaged = TRUE ServerType = ESM	Service Connectivity Polling
Other Domains	InChargeService with attributes IsManaged = TRUE	Service Connectivity Polling

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.
