Advisor Status - Field Help

Configuration Settings

Edit any of the values on the Advisor Status panel and click Update Configuration.

Update interval
How often (in seconds) the advisor queries the servers for information.

Timeout
The number of seconds for which the manager considers the information from this advisor as valid. If the manager finds that the advisor information is older than this timeout period, the manager will not use that information in determining weights for the servers on the port that the advisor is monitoring. An exception to this timeout is when the advisor has informed the manager that a specific server is down. The manager will use that information about the server even after the advisor information has timed out.

Connect Timeout
The amount of time an advisor waits before reporting that a connect has failed.

Receive timeout
The amount of time an advisor waits before reporting that a receive has failed.

The following values can be selected: None - 0, Minimal - 1, Basic - 2, Moderate - 3, Advanced - 4, Verbose - 5.

Maximum advisor log size
A maximum number of bytes to be logged in the advisor log file. The default value is 1 MB.
