3 Specify the maximum health indication that the monitor will report.
This value is used when creating a failover policy to validate the rules. This is the maximum
value that can be used for the threshold type when you create a failover policy. For example, if
you specified percent fail membership monitoring, the maximum values would be 100 (for 100
percent) for the nodepnt monitor. If you specified nodes fail membership monitoring, the
maximum value for the nodecnt monitor is the maximum number of nodes permitted in a
cluster, which is 32. If you created your own custom monitor, the values could be different.
For the nodepnt and nodecnt monitors, the Maximum Health Indication value is for information
only, and should not be changed.
4 Under Short Polling Interval, specify the number of seconds the monitor will wait each time it
contacts the cluster or clusters to get health information.
The Long Polling Interval is not used with the default nodepnt and nodecnt monitors. This
value might be used for some custom monitors.
5 Specify which platforms (Linux or NetWare
and whether you want the monitor enabled for the selected clusters.
The Optional Parameter field specifies a monitor-specific string value that is passed to the
monitor as a startup parameter.
The nodepnt and nodecnt monitors do not support optional parameters.
