4.0.0 HP Polyserve Matrix Server Administration Guide (T5392-96052, March 2010)

Virtual Host: The service monitor is assigned to this virtual host. If the virtual host is
associated with a Matrix Server application, the service monitor will also be
associated with that application.
Port: Matrix Server supplies the default port number for the service you select. If your
service uses a port other than the default, enter that port number here.
NOTE:
This field does not appear if you are creating an NTSERVICE monitor. Instead, you
will be asked for the name of the NT service that you want to monitor.
Monitor Type: Select the type of service that you want to monitor.
Timeout: The maximum amount of time that the monitor_agent process 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.
Additional parameters: If you are configuring a DNS, HTTP, HTTPS, NTSERVICE, or
CUSTOM monitor, you will be asked for an additional parameter.
• DNS monitor. Specify the IP address to be resolved. (The monitor performs reverse
lookup.)
• HTTP and HPPTS monitors. Specify the URL for the service. (For the HTTPS monitor,
the URL should begin with HTTPS.) When the monitor performs its probe operation,
it will attempt to retrieve the URL from the server, giving a higher level of assurance
