Summary

AD Connection Object Monitor. This monitor sets the health state for a connection object. The state is determined as bad, or error if the Connection Object is considered to be in that state. This monitor uses attributes set by the AD Remote Topology Discovery, which actually determines the state.

Configuration

Interval (sec) default 300.

Causes

AD Remote Topology Discovery discovered bad connection objects

Resolutions

Verify your site configuration

Additional

Discovery Rules cannot set health state in Operations Manager Console, so this monitor has to be used to translate the discovered property into a state.
