Cisco Secure ACS system monitoring enables you to determine how often
Cisco Secure ACS tests its authentication and accounting processes, and to
determine what automated actions it takes should tests detect a failure of these
processes. Cisco Secure ACS accomplishes system monitoring with the CSMon
service. For more information about the CSMon service, see
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. The default
frequency is once per minute, which is also the most frequent testing interval
possible.
When this option is enabled, at the interval defined, Cisco Secure ACS tests
authentication and accounting. If the test fails, after four unsuccessful re-tries
Cisco Secure ACS performs the action identified in the If no successful
authentications are recorded list and logs the event.
• If no successful authentications are recorded—Specifies what action
Cisco Secure ACS takes if it detects that its test login process failed. This list
contains several built-in actions and reflects actions that you define. The
items beginning with asterisks (*) are predefined actions.
*Restart All—Restart all Cisco Secure ACS services.
–
*Restart RADIUS/TACACS+—Restart only the RADIUS and
–
TACACS+ services.
*Reboot—Reboot Cisco Secure ACS.
