Describes common parameters and behaviors of connectors.
Custom timeout
Context
A Connector is tested every two minutes when it is active
Alarms will be generated when the connection fails
Max invalid time
To avoid false alarms caused by transient problems, the Max invalid time parameters defines the maximum time a connector can fail before sending an alarm.
Example for a timeout set to 5 min:
12:00 → Check OK
12:02 → Check Failed
12:04 → Check OK
No alarm is sent: The connector failed for less than 5 minutes
Max response time
Another parameter which plays a role in the connection check is Max response time
If the system doesn't respond to a connection attempt within the allocated max response time, the connection will be considered as failed.
This parameter helps to avoid false alarms for slow systems which sometimes take longer to respond.
Override default settings
Max invalid time and Max response time are global settings defined in the admin configuration
However, those settings can be overriden in the connector settings
Just enable the custom timeout check box to customize those timeouts
