Overview

The general parameters of the check must be defined when creating or modifying a check. These parameters are used to define:

the options for scheduling the check.
the options for processing the error.

Scheduling options

The scheduling options are used to define when the check is performed. You can specify:

the duration between two checks. For example, if the duration is set to 2 hours, the check will be started every 2 hours.
the number of attempts: corresponds to the number of times the check is restarted before it is considered as failed.
the wait between two attempts: the tests are run by period of 2 minutes. The time between two attempts must not exceed 2 minutes.
the time slots for execution: period of time during which the check must be performed. To run the test during the entire day, the beginning must be "00:00" and the end "23:59".
the execution days: corresponds to the days of the week when the check must be performed.

Options for processing the errors

The options for processing the errors are used to define:

The message content.
The additional recipients.
The program to run if an error occurs.

Message content

The options for processing the errors are used to define:

the gravity of the error report: low, medium, high. Depending on the selected gravity, the text of the message title is displayed in a specific color (defined in the robot parameters).
the custom message that may be displayed in the error report.
the recommended solution to solve the problem.
