Feature Description

SMI monitors applications such as the UPF that are deployed in KVM-based clusters. Monitoring, in part, is performed through pings sent at regular intervals to verify that the applications are alive. If an application is unresponsive for a certain number of times, then the monitoring service attempts to restart it.

The ping interval and the number of failure occurrences are now configurable using the following commands:

node-defaults kvm monitoring ping-interval <#_seconds>
node-defaults kvm monitoring failure-occurrence <#_instances>

<#_seconds> is any integer value. The minimum value is 3 and the default value is 10 seconds.

<#_instances> is any integer value. The minimum value is 3 and the default value is 10 times.

Upon changing this values and running a sync, the monitoring service is restarted and the new configuration is applied.

For more information on deploying and monitoring KVM-based applications, refer to the UCC SMI Operations Guide > SMI Cluster Manager Operations chapter.
