mscsResourceLooksAlivePollIntrvl

Module: INFORMANT-MSCS

OID (symbolic): INFORMANT-MSCS::mscsResourceLooksAlivePollIntrvl

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9600.1.31.11.1.13

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Gauge32

Access: read-only

Description: The LooksAlivePollInterval property provides the recommended interval in milliseconds at which the Cluster service should poll the resource to determine if it appears operational. The polling occurs when the Resource Monitor calls the resource DLL's LooksAlive entry point function.

If a resource does not set the LooksAlivePollInterval property or sets it to 0xFFFFFFFF, the Cluster service uses the LooksAlivePollInterval property for the resource type associated with the resource.

The resource DLL should return an event handle from the Online call that is signaled when a resource fails. For more information, see Implementing LooksAlive and Implementing Online.

What is mscsResourceLooksAlivePollIntrvl?

This read-only value, in milliseconds, reports how often the Cluster service polls a resource's lighter-weight LooksAlive function to check it still appears operational; a resource left unset or set to 0xFFFFFFFF inherits its resource type's default interval. An admin compares this to IsAlivePollInterval to understand the balance the resource type strikes between frequent lightweight checks and less frequent deep health checks.
