Modes of operation

You can run the probe in either recovery, cleanstart, or replay mode.

The modes of operation dictate the probe to process recovery data in one of the following mode:

  • Recovery - The probe stores recovery data in a recovery file. When the probe starts, it references the recovery file to determine the point within the log file from which to start reading alarms. To specify a recovery file, use the AlarmRecoveryFile property.
  • Cleanstart - The probe ignores the recovery file and starts reading events created after the probe started. To run the probe in cleanstart mode, set the Cleanstart property to 1.
  • Replay - The probe ignores the recovery file and starts reading events from the beginning of the log file. To run the probe in replay mode, set the Replay property to 1.
