Monitoring Device Administration › Manage Monitoring Device Incidents › Enable and Disable Availability Monitoring

Enable and Disable Availability Monitoring

By default, the management console opens an Unavailable incident when the management console cannot contact a CA Standard Monitor, CA Virtual Systems Monitor, or CA Multi-Port Monitor for 5 minutes. To prevent the management console from opening Unavailable monitoring device incidents on a monitoring device, disable availability monitoring on the device.

Availability monitoring is not applicable for other types of monitoring devices. Note that you cannot specify a monitoring device threshold for availability.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Administration page.
2. Click Data Monitoring, Monitoring Devices in the Show Me menu.
3. Scroll to the ADA Monitoring Device List and click to edit a CA Standard Monitor or CA Multi-Port Monitor.

   Monitor Properties opens.

4. Click Availability Monitoring to enable availability monitoring and click OK.
