3.1.2 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 12: Configure Service Monitors 164

Single-probe monitors perform the probe function only on the node

where the monitor instance is active. This type of configuration is useful

for applications such as databases that are not cluster-aware and should

be run on only one node at a time.

See“Advanced Topics” on page 209 for information about developing

probe scripts for custom monitors and integrating monitors with custom

applications.

Add or Modify a Service Monitor

Adding a service monitor configures Matrix Server monitoring only. It

does not configure the service itself.

To add or update a service monitor, select the appropriate option:

• To add a new service monitor, first select the virtual host for the

monitor on either the Servers or Virtual Hosts window, then right-

click and select Add Service Monitor (or click the Service icon on the

toolbar). Then configure the monitor on the Add Service Monitor

window.

• To modify an existing service monitor, select that monitor on either

the Servers or Virtual Hosts window, right-click, and select Properties.

Then make your changes on the Service Monitor Properties window.
