Note: You must be an administrator to enable the BDDS
Monitoring service.
To enable the BDDS monitoring service:

Under Polling Interval Time, set the polling

-
Under Failure Detection Count, set the failure detection
count:
- Failure Detection Count—the number of consecutive failures permitted before a problem affects the monitoring statistics. When set to 1, every interruption in a service affects the monitoring statistics.
