This monitor type detects potential problems with the operational database by checking the state of grooming and partitioning processes that could cause performance issues.

Summary
Monitor type for checking the grooming and partitioning process.
This workflow runs a script on a recurring schedule. The interval is the number of seconds that the workflow should wait from one run to the next. Change this value if you want the workflow to run more or less frequently.
Synctime
string
$Config/Synctime$
Sync time
TimeoutSeconds
int
$Config/TimeoutSeconds$
Timeout (seconds)
This workflow runs on script on a recurring schedule. The timeout is the number of seconds that the script is allowed to run before it will be forced to stop. Note: the timeout should always be less than the interval to ensure that multiple instances of the script do not run at the same time.
Threshold
int
$Config/Threshold$
Maximum days since last success
This workflow uses the "maximum days since last success" value as a threshold to determine state. Set this to the maximum number of days that can pass without partitioning and grooming completing successfully, before it is considered a problem.
TimesBeforeAlert
int
$Config/TimesBeforeAlert$
Sample Count before alerting
Sample count to wait until change the monitor to the warning state.
