You can specify device monitoring settings on the Monitoring Settings tab while creating or editing a device within the device interface.
Frequency
In the Frequency field, select a frequency with which the device will repeat the monitoring tasks. For more details, see the Frequency article.
Monitoring Schedule
Select an existing schedule to apply to this device.
Only one schedule can be assign to a monitoring device.
If you are configuring a ServerView or WebView device, the Allow Simultaneous Cheks option is available:
- To ensure that only one location is monitoring a device at a given time, select No under the option.
- To allow simultaneous monitoring from several locations, leave the Yes value selected.
For more information on the simultaneous cheks algorithm, see Monitoring Algorithm.
When an error is detected, we run a series of checks to ensure it is not a false alert. Those checks may take some time, depending on the error type and the number of tasks in the device. This may cause some delay in downtime alerts.
You can disable False Positive Check to ensure immediate downtime alert, but it may result is some “false” alerts. For more details, see False Positive Check.
We recommend NOT disabling the False Positive Check.
