SSH Active Monitor Check component boxes

You may configure the following boxes for the SSH Active Monitor Check component:

Name. Enter a unique name for the component.
Description. (Optional) 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.
Note: If you create a script to run on the remote device, the script must be developed, tested, and/or debugged on the remote machine. WhatsUp Gold does not support manipulation of the remote script.
Line end character. 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 WhatsUp Gold to replace the line-ending characters with the selected characters prior to connection and command execution.
Output to match. Enter the output that should match the command result.
Up if matches. Select this option to put the application in the up state if the output matches.
Use regex. Select to use a regular expression to evaluate the match.
