The SNPP Monitor (Simple Network Pager Protocol) tests a pager server's ability to accept incoming sessions and its responsiveness.
The SNPP Monitor connects to the SNPP server and waits for the server to indicate if it is available, then safely disconnects (ensuring that it adheres to the SNPP protocol). If the pager server indicates that it is unavailable, ipMonitor considers a failure to have occurred.
This Monitor:
- Considers the specified resource unavailable after a specified number of seconds.
- Persistently tests the resource at specified intervals.
- Disallows testing during a maintenance period.
- Waits for a specified number of failures to occur before starting alerts.
- Switches testing intervals, from "responding correctly" to "not responding correctly". Configurable intervals allow you to test more or less aggressively in the event of failure.
- Stops alerting after a specified number of alerts.
- Has a placeholder for a WinNT Service Name or any other information required by a recovery script.
