Virtual Host: The service monitor is assigned to this virtual host. If the virtual host is
associated with a HP Scalable NAS application, the service monitor will also be
associated with that application.
Port: HP Scalable NAS supplies the default port number for the service you select. If
your service uses a port other than the default, type that port number here.
Monitor Type: Select the type of service that you want to monitor.
Timeout: The maximum amount of time that the monitor_agent daemon will wait
for a probe to complete. For most monitors, the default timeout interval is five seconds.
You can use the default setting or specify a new timeout interval.
Frequency: The interval of time, in seconds, at which the monitor probes the
designated service. You can use the default setting, typically 30 seconds, or enter a
new frequency interval.
Script parameters: If you are configuring a HTTP, NIS, or CUSTOM monitor, this
field will ask for the following information. (This field is unused for the other types of
monitors.)
• HTTP service monitor. You will be asked to specify the URL for the HTTP service.
When the monitor performs its probe operation, it will attempt to retrieve the URL
from the server, giving a higher level of assurance that the service is functioning
correctly. If you do not specify a URL, the probe operation will connect to httpd
and wait for a response. If httpd responds, the monitor assumes that the service
is operating correctly.
• NIS service monitor. You will be asked to set the proto, rpcname, rpcvers, and
domain parameters. Set proto to either udp or tcp, depending on the protocol
used by the NIS protocol version you have configured. rpcname is typically set
to ypserv. Set rpcvers to either 1 or 2 to match the NIS protocol version used by
