Maximum Startup Attempts

Specifies the maximum number of times to attempt to start the application server 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 application server. Adjust this value based on your requirements for restarting 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.
