4.55 ServerTimeout

Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the number of sessions that timed out during the monitoring interval. To conserve resources, Windows servers automatically disconnect sessions that are idle for a set period. If a session’s idle time exceeds the autodisconnect parameter for the server, the session times out and is closed. This script tracks the number of sessions that timed out since the last time the script ran (delta value) and raises an event if the number of the timed-out sessions exceeds the threshold you specify.
