25.4.01
Configure failover retry attempts to prevent false failovers
Use the Failover Retry Attempts property to configure multiple reconnection attempts to the primary Agent before marking the primary Agent as unavailable. By default, the system tries to connect three times. You can adjust the number of retry attempts according to how your environment handles short-lived network disruptions.This improvement helps prevent unnecessary failovers caused by short-lived network interruptions and reduces alert noise. For more information, see Configuring after installation.
Added annotation support for the Environment Configuration Status and Member Server Connect Status attributes
Annotation support is added for the following attributes:
Environment Configuration Status provides detailed annotations about primary and secondary server configurations.
Member Server Connect Status generates annotations for connection issues, such as remote session failures, connection limits, and authentication errors.
This capability helps reduce troubleshooting time, improve root-cause identification, and maintain the high availability of critical services. For more information, see Annotation generating attributes.
