Host Surveillance dialog box

The Host Surveillance dialog box is used to define surveillance actions that can be taken for StreamServer applications, Archiver applications, or service gateways on the host.

If the preferred state of an application cannot be reestablished by the surveillance actions, an email can be sent to the application domain contact. The application domain contact is defined in the Application Domain Editor, on the General tab.
