ObjectServer information

The probe sends processed events to an ObjectServer resource. This can be a single server or a failover pair of ObjectServers.

Single ObjectServer

Configure the probe to communicate with an ObjectServer by setting the Server property to the name of the ObjectServer.

Failover pair

Optionally, you can define a failover pair of ObjectServers. One of them acts as the primary ObjectServer that the probe communicates with initially. Should that ObjectServer become unreachable, the probe communicates with the other, backup ObjectServer. To define a failover pair set the following probe properties:

Table 1. Properties that define a failover pair of ObjectServers
Property	Value
Server	Set this property to the name of the primary ObjectServer.
ServerBackup	Set this property to the name of the backup ObjectServer.
NetworkTimeout	Set this property to the timeout period, in seconds, for the primary ObjectServer. If the probe does not receive a response from the primary ObjectServer within that time, it connects to the backup ObjectServer.
PollServer	Set this property to the time period, in seconds, when the probe tries to reconnect to the primary ObjectServer.

Note: Ensure that the value of NetworkTimeout is less than the value of PollServer.
