Exchange monitor question

Hello!

 

According to the iApp manual the monitor interval and timeout is set to 30 and 91, When you create a new monitor the defaults seems to be 5 and 16. The reason for asking is that when doing failover testing, sometimes it takes almost 2 minutes for the client to be redirect to a new cas server. Since the above a recommended values I thought I would ask if we can break anything by lowering the interval and timout for the rpc,rpc mapi and rpc address book monitors? Maybe this is normal failover times and it just feels like a loong time when doing a lot of testing. Any thoughts?

 

 

Regards

    hi Prohead, you should be able to shorten those interval/timeout settings without causing problems. You will just see a lot more "noise" from the monitor traffic when looking at packet captures.

     

     

    BTW, if it's not set already, you should change the Action on Service Down pool setting to "Reject" for these 3 pools.
