Timer Points

Each timer has four points. The SVMTIMER point defines the update rate of the timer. The other points record statistics about the timer.

UDC UDC Description Function

SVMTIMER

ServiceMon Timer

Defines the update rate (in seconds) of the timer.

SVMTIMERCS

ServiceMon Timer State

The state the timer is presently in:

0 = Unknown

1 = Running (gathering data)

2 = Waiting (in between cycles)

3 = Stopped (disabled)

SVMTIMERCT

ServiceMon Timer Cycle

The amount of time (in milliseconds) the timer took to complete its cycle (that is, to poll all its SVCMON points). The cycle time includes retrieving the values and performing calculations. High network traffic or a failed service may affect the cycle time.

SVMTIMERRS

ServiceMon Timer Errors

The number of significant errors encountered during polling. A potential cause for error is improper configuration of a point in the timer group, preventing the timer from polling its value.
