Setting the Node Warning Level
A device may drop packets or fail to respond to a poll for many reasons. Should the
device fail to respond, the device status is changed from Up to Warning. On the
Polling Settings view, you can specify the Node Warning Level, which is the length of
time a device is allowed to remain in the Warning status before it is marked as Down.
During the interval specified, the service performs "fast polling" (ICMP) to continually
check the node status.
Note: You may see events or receive alerts for down nodes that are not actually
down. This can be caused by intermittent packet loss on the network. Set the Node
Warning Interval to a higher value to avoid these false notifications. For more
information about packet loss reporting, see "Managing Packet Loss Reporting"
To set the Node Warning Level:
1.
Log in to the Orion Web Console using an account with administrative rights.
2. Click Settings in the upper right of the web console, and then click Polling
Settings in the Settings group of the Orion Website Administration view.
