ping-time

Syntax

ping-time = number_of_seconds

Description

Integer value indicating the number of seconds between pings issued by the WebSEAL server. The pings are issued periodically in the background to verify that junctioned WebSEAL servers are running.

If the server is deemed not running, the recovery-ping-time value determines the interval at which pings are sent until the server is running. The type of ping used is determined by the ping-method value. HTTP response code rules can be defined using the response-code-rules configuration entry.

You can customize this configuration item for a particular junction by adding the adjusted configuration item to a [junction:{junction_name}] stanza, where {junction_name} refers to the junction point for a standard junction (including the leading / character) or the virtual host label for a virtual host junction.

Options

number_of_seconds

Usage

To turn this ping off, set this entry to zero. If this entry is set to zero, the recovery-ping-time must be set.

Default value

300
