ipMonitor's flexible timing parameters provide the ability to intensify or lessen testing during each of a Monitor's four testing states: Up, Warn, Down and Lost.
For example, you might intensify testing when a Monitor enters a Warn state and reduce testing when a Monitor enters a Lost state.
Maximum Test Duration - If a response is not returned within the defined number of seconds, the test fails.
Delays Between Tests While: Up - The number of seconds between each Test while the Monitor is in an Up (or OK) state. In this state, the Monitor appears green in the Real-Time Status screens.
Delays Between Tests While: Warn - The number of seconds between each Test while the Monitor is in a Warn state (a problem has been detected). Alerts are not processed during the Warn state, and the Monitor appears amber in the Real-Time Status screens.
Delays Between Tests While: Down - The number of seconds between each Test while the Monitor is in a Down state (a failure has been confirmed). Alerts are processed during the Down state, and the Monitor appears bright red in the Real-Time Status screens.
Delays Between Tests While: Lost - The number of seconds between each Test while the Monitor is in a Lost state (the resource continues to be down and the maximum number of Alerts has been processed). No further Alerts will be processed until the Monitor recovers, and the Monitor appears dark red in the Real-Time Status screens.
