Setting service monitoring policy

The Service Monitoring feature monitors and reports on all core Active Administrator® services, and if a service stops, there is an attempt to restart it.

To set the service monitoring policy
1
Select Configuration | Service Monitoring Policy.
2
By default, the maintenance service monitors the selected services, and restarts the service if it stops. There is a check box for each service: Notification, Data Services, Audit Agent, and Advanced Agent. By default, all check boxes are checked. To stop monitoring of a service, clear the check box.
The bottom pane displays the status of the services.
3
By default, the audit agent monitor checks the database for the last time an event is written to verify that the audit agent has a valid connection to the database. If the auditing agent has not written a heartbeat flag to the database within the minutes specified, a notification is sent to the recipients listed on the Notification page.
•
To stop audit agent monitoring, clear the check box.
•
To change the number of minutes, type a value in the box.
4
Click Notification.
5
By default, details about the service configuration, such as the service startup account, the database server name, and the state of the service are included in the notification email. You may want to turn it off if you have security concerns.
6
To add email addresses to the list of recipients, click Add.
 
* 
NOTE: You can also manage the Service Monitoring Policy email address list from the Settings menu. See Managing email addresses.
7
By default, only one notification is sent. If you want to send more notifications, select Notification frequency, and type the frequency notifications are sent. By default, notifications are sent every 4 hours until the problem is resolved.
8
Click Delivery Options.
9
For each service, type a new custom subject line or accept the default. Use the variables listed as needed. To reset the message to the default, click Reset.
 
Table 119. Variables for the custom subject line
