Maximum Startup Attempts Specifies the maximum number of times to attempt to start the appserver before giving up.
Data type Integer
Ping Interval Specifies the frequency of communication attempts between the parent process, such as the node agent, and the process it has spawned, such as an appserver. Adjust this value based on your requirements for cycling failed servers. Decreasing the value detects failures sooner; increasing the value reduces the frequency of pings, reducing system overhead.
Data type Integer
Ping Timeout When a parent process is spawning a child process, such as when a process manager spawns a server, the parent process pings the child process to see whether the child was spawned successfully. This value specifies the number of seconds that the parent process should wait (after pinging the child process) before assuming that the child process failed.
Data type Integer Units Seconds
Automatic Restart Specifies whether the process should restart automatically if it fails. The default is to restart the process automatically.
Data type Boolean Default true
Node Restart State Specifies the desired state for the process after the node completely shuts down and restarts. The options are: STOPPED, RUNNING, PREVIOUS. The default is STOPPED.
Data type String Default STOPPED Range Valid values are STOPPED, RUNNING, or PREVIOUS.
