Configure general parameters
Screenshot 19 - Check properties dialog
To specify the general parameters of a monitor check (e.g., Check
Name and Target Computer):
1. Right click on the check to be configured and select ‘Properties’. By
default the check properties dialog will open in the ‘General’ tab.
2. Specify the following parameters:
• Check details – The monitoring check name (e.g. ‘Fileserver
Availability Check’) and relative function description (e.g. Ping the
Fileserver to check if it is available).
• Target – The name or IP address of the target computer on which
this check will run (e.g. FILESERVER or 192.168.1.10).
• Scan Frequency – The time interval between consecutive
executions of this monitoring check (e.g. Specify a scan frequency
of 10 minutes, if you want to run this check every 10 minutes).
• Error Threshold – The number of consecutive times that this check
must fail before an action is triggered (e.g. Specify an Error
Threshold of 3, to allow a check to fail 3 consecutive times, before
the check is classified as failed and alerts, etc. are triggered).
NOTE: Check failures occurring within the specified error threshold
limit are known as errors. GFI Network Server Monitor only defines a
check as failed when the number of errors exceeds the error
threshold. The error threshold is necessary to avoid continuous false
alarms, triggered by check timeouts, associated with slow network
