 is the IP address and port where iMonitor can be reached, and 

OPTION_NAME

 is the name of the option you want help on (for example, time_delta).

To view the currently set levels and ranges, use your browser to go to the health page that

Š

Options that need custom or complex settings
There are three different server reporting levels that can be set: 

Š

WARN detects servers running a version of eDirectory that should be upgraded as soon as 
possible.

Š

SUSPECT detects servers running a version of eDirectory that should be noted for 
upgrade.

Š

MARGINAL detects servers running a version of eDirectory that is not current.

These options set the reporting level if the server version falls within the specified range.
