  4. Specify the timeout interval in seconds for the port-check request.
  5. Specify the consecutive time to generate an alarm if the service unavailable for N number of times

  7. If you wish to associate the monitor to existing devices, click on Save & Associate. This option will prompt you to select the required devices to which the monitor must be associated
    Select the required devices and click 'Save'.

  4. Click Associate.

You can also associate/dissociate service monitors to devices from the Quick Configuration Wizard. Go to Settings → Configuration → Quick Configuration Wizard → Service Monitors and associate/dissociate services to devices as mentioned above.

Adding a monitor from the Device Snapshot Page
