TACACS+ User Experience Monitor
This SAM component monitor uses synthetic transactions to test user authentication through the Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System (TACACS)+ protocol to:
- Connect to server.
- Send a TACACS+ credential and shared secret.
- Validate the response.
- Measure response time.
This monitor does not currently support polling via SolarWinds Platform Remote Collectors.
Statistic
This component monitor does not compute a statistic.
Field descriptions
Description
A default description of the monitor. To override the default description, add to or replace existing text. Changes are automatically saved. The variable to access this field is ${UserDescription}.
Customize descriptions to specify what will be monitored so related alerts and notifications are more meaningful later.
Enable Component
Determines whether the component is enabled. Disabling the component leaves it in the application in a deactivated state not influencing either SolarWinds SAM application availability or status.
Credential for Monitoring
Click a credential in the list, or use the <Inherit credential from node> option. If the credential you need is not in the credentials list, add it in the SAM Credentials Library.
Port Number
The TACACS+ protocol connection port. The default value is 49.
Secret Key
The TACACS+ protocol shared key.
Response Time Threshold
Set the warning and critical threshold conditions based on the response time. The response time is the time in milliseconds it takes SolarWinds SAM to determine that a component is not Down and to retrieve any statistical data. See Application Monitor Thresholds.
User Notes
Add notes for easy reference. You can access this field by using the variable, ${UserNotes}.
