SSH Active Monitor Check component boxes
You may configure the following boxes for the SSH Active Monitor Check component:
- . Enter a unique name for the component.
- . (Optional) Enter additional information about the component.
- . Click to select this check box if the component is critical.
: 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.
- .Select a time (in minutes or hours) you want APM to wait between polls.
- . 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.
: 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.
- . 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.
- . Enter the output that should match the command result.
- . Select this option to put the application in the up state if the output matches.
- . Select to use a regular expression to evaluate the match.
