what are the different timers we can set for tcp monitor

Hi All ,

 

If I have to change the default TCP timers to greater than its default value (in new custom monitor) , what are the different timers I can set , Can I use the random values ?

 

Say for default TCP monitor :

Interval : 5sec

timeout : 16 seconds ..

 

So can we use interval : 30sec , timeout: 60 sec ?

  • you can use all the values you want (within some limits)

     

    just remember to set the timeout at X times to interval + 1

     

    so with the interval of 30 you would end up at 91 for the timeout.

     

    in that way you allow for three missed attempts until the monitors flags it as down.
