Service Check (SNMP)

Configure the following for the SNMP Service Check component:

• Name. Enter a unique name for the component.
• Description. Enter additional information about the component.
• Critical. Click to select this check box if the component is critical.

Note: Components specified as critical cause the application to go into a down state when the component is out of threshold. Non-critical components cause the application to go into a warning state. For more information on application states, see Working with application states.

• Polling frequency. Select a time (in minutes or hours) you want APM to wait between polls.
• Service Name. Type the name of the service you want to monitor or click browse (...) to bring up the device browser to select the specific device and service. The name of the service must be entered exactly as it appears in the list of available services.
• Restart on failure. Select this option to have the monitor attempt to restart the service when it enters a down state.
• Polling timeout. (SNMP Only) Enter the length of time APM attempts to connect to the selected device. When the time you enter is exceeded without connecting, a timeout occurs and APM stops trying to connect to the device. This is considered a failed connection.
• Poller retries. (SNMP Only) Enter the number of times APM attempts to send the command before the device is considered down.
