How to select a leading service and checking time in the extended monitoring type

Applies to 12.x 11.x 10.x

Node settings->Monitoring->Network Services

The extended monitoring allows setting the leading service checking time below 1 minute.

When the leading service is going DOWN, you can select one of the following options:

Set node state to DOWN
When this option is selected the node and other monitored services state will be determined by the leading service status. If the leading service is going DOWN, NetCrunch will set the DOWN state of the node and other monitored services.
Immediately check other services - (program default settings)
This option is available only when the Set node state to DOWN is not selected. When the leading service is going DOWN, NetCrunch will immediately poll for other monitored network services status regardless of defined monitoring time interval.

To select a leading network service and checking time for a node with extended monitoring type:

  1. Right-click a node in the Map view and from its context menu select Node settings.
  2. Click the small gear icon next to Network Services tab.
  3. In the Leading Service section click the Monitor in seconds interval checkbox.
  4. In the Service field select the network service that is to be the leading network service for the current node.
  5. Select the desired leading service Monitoring Time and UP Check Time (in seconds).
  6. In the When Leading Service state changes to DOWN section select the desired option. Click OK.

Note: When the extended monitoring type is chosen for selected nodes, the network services monitoring is automatically set to the Critical priority.
