Advisor Status - Field Help

Edit any of the following configuration settings on the Advisor Status panel and click Update Configuration.

Update interval

How often (in seconds) the advisor will query the servers for information.

Timeout

The number of seconds for which the manager will consider the information from this advisor as valid. If the manager finds that the advisor information is older than this timeout period, the manager will not use that information in determining weights for the servers on the port that the advisor is monitoring. An exception to this timeout is when the advisor has informed the manager that a specific server is down. The manager will use that information about the server even after the advisor information has timed out.
