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

Node settings -> Monitoring-> Change Leading Service and Checking Time when node is down

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

In the Rapid Monitoring Options window the checking time can be defined for the DOWN and UP node state independently.

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 monitored services - (program default settings)

This option is available only when the Set node DOWN state 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 rapid monitoring type:

1. Right-click a node in the Map view and from its context menu select Node settings, and then Monitoring.
2. Select the Rapid monitoring type on the General tab. If the dependency rule is defined for selected node the appropriate information is displayed. To change the dependency rule click the Select Node icon in the Monitoring Depends on State of field and select the node with installed NetCrunch Server. The Critical priority of the network services monitoring will be set automatically (in NetCrunch Premium XE edition only).
3. Use the Rapid monitoring Options link. The Rapid Monitoring Options window opens.
4. In the Leading Service field select the network service that is to be the leading network service for the current node.
5. Select the desired leading service checking time when node is Down and Up in the appropriate fields (in seconds).
6. In the When the leading service is going Down section select the desired option. Click OK.

Note: The rapid monitoring type can be selected for nodes either without dependency rule or dependency on the machine with installed NetCrunch Server only.

In NetCrunch Premium XE edition, when the rapid monitoring type is chosen for selected nodes, the network services monitoring is automatically set to the Critical priority.
