that the device is not active on those servers. The script pathname can be up

to 512 characters long.

[--stopTimeout <seconds>]

The amount of time to wait for the Stop script to complete.

[--eventSeverity consider|ignore]

Whether Matrix Server takes device monitor events (such as a failure or

decisions. The default is consider.

[--probetype single|multiple]

Whether the monitor probe occurs on only one server or on all of the

configured servers.

[--activitytype single|always|multiple]

Whether the device monitor can be active on only one server or on all of the

configured servers. With single, the monitor is active on only one of the

selected servers. Upon server failure, the monitor will fail over to an active

server unless all associated service and device monitors are down.

With always, the monitor is active on only one of the selected servers. Upon

server failure, the monitor will fail over to an active server even if all

associated service and device monitors are down.

With multiple, the monitor is active simultaneously on all selected servers.

[--vhosts <vhost1>,<vhost2>,...]

The virtual hosts associated with the device monitor. These virtual hosts

will fail over to another network interface when the monitored device fails.

By default, no virtual hosts are associated with the device monitor.
