The Enable Matching checkbox applies to services, counters and processes as follows:
Services - If checked, no alarms are created if a service specified in the monitor set does not exist on an assigned machine. If unchecked, creates a "does not exist" alarm.
Note: Specifying a range of services using the * wildcard character requires Enable Matching be checked.
Counters - If checked, no alarms are created if a counter specified in the monitor set does not exist on an assigned machine. If unchecked, the counter displays on the Monitor Log page with a Last Value of Not Responding. No alarm is created.
Processes - Does not apply to processes. Checked or unchecked, no alarms are created if a process specified in the monitor set does not exist on an assigned machine.
Note: This change does not take effect on machines already assigned the monitor set until the monitor set is reassigned.
