• DNS. Specify the address to be resolved.
• CUSTOM. Type the pathname for the probe script to be used with the
monitor.
When you complete the Add Service Monitor form, the new monitor
appears on the Management Console. In this example, the service
monitor is active on server owl, which provides the active network
interface for the virtual host.
To add or update a service monitor from the command line, use this
command:
mx service add|update [--type <type>] [--timeout <seconds>]
[--frequency <seconds>] [<other_arguments>] <vhost:port> ...
NOTE: The --type option cannot be used with the mx service update
command.
See “Advanced Settings for Service Monitors” for information about the
other arguments that can be specified for service monitors.
Advanced Settings for Service Monitors
You can use the advanced settings to fine-tune service monitors. To
access the advanced settings, select the Advanced button on the Add
Service Monitor or Service Monitor Properties window.
