•
Test interval (seconds)
- The number of seconds
Watchdog will use in the interval between attempting to
test the TCP connection to the appliance. The default
is
60
seconds, and the minimum number of seconds
that can be selected is
10
.
•
Warning state threshold
- The number of consecu-
tive tests an appliance can fail before Watchdog issues
that appliance a warning state. The default is
2
tests.
Using these default settings, Watchdog will issue a
warning state for the failed appliance every two
minutes (one failed test in 60 seconds, plus another
failed test in the next 60 seconds equals 120 seconds,
or two minutes).
•
Failed state threshold
- The number of consecutive
tests an appliance can fail before Watchdog issues
that appliance a failed state. The default is
3
tests.
Using these default settings, when Watchdog makes a
third failed attempt to test the TCP connection to the
appliance, the state of that appliance will be upgraded
from a warning state to a failed state.
