System Monitoring
Cisco Secure ACS system monitoring enables you to determine how often
Cisco Secure ACS tests its authentication and accounting processes, and what
automated actions it takes should tests detect a failure of these processes.
System Monitoring Options
You have the following options for configuring system monitoring:
• Test login process every X minutes—Controls whether or not
Cisco Secure ACS tests its login process. The value in the X box defines, in
minutes, how often Cisco Secure ACS tests its login process.
When this option is enabled, at the interval defined, Cisco Secure ACS tests
authentication and accounting. If Cisco Secure ACS detects a failure, it
restarts the failed service and retests authentication and accounting. If the
second test fails, Cisco Secure ACS performs the action identified in the on
failure list. If, after the failure action is performed, testing still fails,
Cisco Secure ACS performs event logging. For more information about event
logging, see the “Setting Up Event Logging” section on page 8-51.
• on failure—Specifies what action Cisco Secure ACS takes if it detects that
its login process failed. This list contains several built-in actions and reflects
custom actions that you define. The items beginning with asterisks (*) are
built-in actions.
–
*Restart All—Restart all Cisco Secure ACS services.
–
*Restart RADIUS/TACACS+—Restart only the RADIUS and
TACACS+ services.
–
*Reboot—Reboot the Cisco Secure ACS server.
