Hi Dirk,
Yes it was enabled and we don’t use it. I’ve disabled it now.

Thanks for the info, I was leaning towards that the timeout was lasting longer
than the time between checks which is why it probably freaked out on us on
Saturday. Also I found out the boss was copying over 60 gigs of data over the

Hi all,
I’m running v6.2.2319 and have recently started having an issue where
servers alive hangs and when I login to the server, there is the below error.
Anyone know what the cause may be?

Also in regards to false alerts. In our company I receive every alert. Other
admins (including execs) receive filtered alerts. TO use your example I have
two alerts one which sends to me after 2 downs. The second sends to
management after 2 downs when the alert "should not contain" 1460.
Anthony,
I’ve had similar situations. Setting the timeout value to a higher
number never fixed the issue. What would happen is that I would get a 1460,
but the Roundtrip time displayed in the GUI was less than my timeout value.
This led me to believe that the process (or machine) I was c

What kind of check are you doing? In a previous life we had to use a specific
text file as our check for a website, because with load-balancing and some
other factors, the actual website often appeared to be down, even though it
wasn’t. When you build the pages on the fly, doing a ge

responding our phone system throws up an alarm saying that particular
application is offline. The alarms never pop off, and usually the next check it

1460 is being returned by windows to Server's Alive. Therefore it is not a

A "down" means that we can't check it as being UP.
If your internet connection is down (this is an example!!) then we can't check
your external website and will flag the entry as being down. While the

That's a timeout error.
It means that the (remote) server didn't respond within the given timeout.
We can't say for sure that the process is running (we're talking about a
process check), so we can't set an UP on that entry, that's why you get a DOWN.
A DOWN should be interpreted as

Correct. It’s not a true false alert. But its reporting that our

Servers Alive very rarely sends a true ‘false alert’. Like any
application, it isn’t perfect, but in my experience, SA reports what it
can, and some other source is the cause of the status of the alert.

24/7 support should be possible, question is mostly does it make sense to be
contactable via phone if most of the time email is needed in order to get
logfiles. And 24/7 support would mean support, NOT configuration help. That
would be done via the normal support options.
