“Down” status
The “Down” status indicates that the monitor finished its probe but it did not complete
successfully. Depending on the monitor type (such as HTTP or SMTP), the service
monitor probe may involve more than being able to connect to the network service.
For many built-in service monitors, Matrix Server may conclude that the monitor is
down even if the TCP connection succeeds. For example, if a Web server is available
but the URL specified in the HTTP service monitor was not found, the HTTP service
monitor will be reported as Down.
“Undefined” status
If the probe has not completed because of a script configuration problem or because
Matrix Server is still attempting to finish the first probe, the status will be reported as
“undefined” instead of Down.
“SYSTEM ERROR” status
The “SYSTEM ERROR” status indicates that a serious system functional error occurred
while Matrix Server was trying to probe the service. To see details about the system
error, select the monitor on the Management Console, right-click, and select View
Last Error. Also view the cluster log file.
“Unknown” status
The “unknown” status indicates that the information that ClusterPulse provided to the
Management Console did not conform to one of the expected status choices. This
could occur if the Management Console is out of date and does not support the
version of Matrix Server running on the server.
“Event” status
The “Event” status is displayed when monitor_agent encounters an error while
executing the probe, Start, Stop, or Recovery scripts.
The status of the monitor may be “Up” even though an event has been reported. This
is the case if the error was not serious enough to stop the execution of the script.
The events are:
