Configuration Settings

Edit the configuration settings on the advisor Configuration Settings tab, and then click Update Configuration.

Update interval (seconds)
How often, in seconds, that the advisor queries the servers for information. The default is 15 seconds.

Timeout (seconds)
The number of seconds that the manager considers the information from this advisor to be valid. The default value is Unlimited. If the manager finds that the advisor information is older than the timeout value, the manager does not use that information to determine 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 uses that information about the server, even after the advisor information has timed out.

Connect timeout (seconds)
The amount of time an advisor waits before reporting that a connection has failed. The default value is 21.

Receive timeout (seconds)
The amount of time an advisor waits before reporting that a receive has failed. The default value is 21.

  • None

  • Advanced
  • Verbose

Maximum advisor log size (bytes)
