Hi, Would possible to get the configuration of the computer not reachable monitor?? I just need to override the ping monitor for a group of servers which should alert only if the server is not reachable for 10 minutes. Also would like to know how to change the HeartBeat interval for a group of servers? Thanks, SaravThanks, Sarav

The default settings for Agent heart beat is 60 seconds, and the default number of missed heartbeats allowed is 3. This can be found under the Administration Tab, under Settings Type Agent and Type Server for heartbeat. This is a global setting for your managment group. hope this helpsScott Moss MVP (Operations Manager) | President - System Center Virtual Users Group | Vice President - Atlanta Southeast Management Users Group (ATL SMUG) Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you!

Thanks!!! Am not looking to update all the server`s (Global settings). I need to update the heartbeat interval for a group of server`s through any script or using any automated methodolgy. Need to reduce manual work and also it should work dynamically. Thanks, SaravThanks, Sarav

Try the set-defaultsetting cmdlet http://blogs.technet.com/b/jonathanalmquist/archive/2009/03/27/set-management-group-global-settings.aspxHTH, Jonathan Almquist - MSFT

Heartbeat overrides are set on the agent level, not on a group level (and you can only set the interval, not the total missed). As far as I know this is a manual action. I don't know of any cmdlet able of setting this value (get-agent can show the value).Regards, Marc Klaver http://jama00.wordpress.com/

Thanks for all your Inputs!!! I got this working by referring the kevin holmans blog.. Here is the powershellscript which helps to chnage the HeartBeat Interval for set\group of computers, Sample: $heartbeat = get-agent |where {$_.Domain -match "*****"} $heartbeat|foreach {$_.HeartBeatInterval=120} $heartbeat|foreach {$_.ApplyChanges()} Still looking for the overriding the ping monitor...
