5. Click Finish.
By default, the connectivity verifi er will trigger an alert if a response is not received
within 5000 ms. This timeout period is confi gurable although not in the initial creation
wizard. In order to adjust this value, you need to right-click the verifi er in the Connectivity
Verifi ers tab, and select properties. In addition to triggering an alert, the connectivity verifi er
will be displayed in the Monitoring??“Dashboard screen. There you will see a status of
Good with a green checkmark graphic if the service is online, or No Connection
with a red X if it is offl ine.
The main trick with Connectivity Verifi ers is knowing exactly what it is you are
verifying. Any group selection other than Active Directory or Web (Internet) defaults
to a verifi cation method of pinging the host. This does not verify that the service you
wish to monitor is online at all.
