SSH (Performance)

Configure the following boxes for the SSH Performance Monitor 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.
• Command to run. Enter the command to execute on the device. This command can be anything that a device can interpret and run; for example, a basic UNIX command or Perl script. The command or script must return a single numeric value. For example:
  Single-line Unix-style: free -m | awk 'NR==2{print $3}
• Line end characters. Select the appropriate character type; either None, Linefeed, Carriage return, or Carriage return linefeed. Multiline scripts are entered and persisted on a Windows operating system, and include line-ending characters that may not be recognized on the target device. This configuration feature instructs the application to replace the line-ending characters with the selected characters prior to connection and command execution.
• Warning threshold. Enter the component thresholds for the warning state. For example, if the component value is greater than 90 for 5 minutes, put the component in the warning state.
• Down threshold. Enter the component thresholds for the down state. For example, if the component value is greater than 95 for 5 minutes, put the component in the down state.
