SSH Performance Monitor Check component boxes

You may configure the following boxes for the SSH Performance 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 shell command or Perl script. Select one of the following script options:
- Numeric. The command or script must return a single numeric value. The script can be as complex as required, but MUST only return a numeric value. For example, old, single-line unix-style:
  free -m | awk 'NR==2{print $3}'
  This is the script format required prior to WhatsUp Gold 16.2.3.
- Shell Interactive. This script is not constrained to only returning single numeric values; however, the output MUST contain the string 'Result=xxxx' where xxxx represents a numeric value. For example, new multi-line linux-style:
  echo Result=$(free -m | awk 'NR==2{print $3}')
  This new script format, available in WhatsUp Gold 16.2.3 and later, supports all the features of the target script interpreters without burdening the script developer to limit the output to a single numeric value.
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.
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.
