   Parameter	Description
   ID	Indicates the unique ID used to identify the IP address to be monitored. You are advised to set an ID in a format similar to Node name + Monitoring type to facilitate identification. [Value range] The value contains 1 to 15 characters. The value can contain letters, digits, and hyphens (-) and cannot start with a digit, def-osc, def-ls, or def-poe.
   Monitoring IP Address	Indicates the IP address to be monitored. [Value range] The value can be an IPv4 address.
   Service Type	Indicates the name of the monitored service, including OSC, POE, LS, and REP. OSC, POE, LS, and REP are used to resolve the cluster domain name, POE authentication service domain name, LS domain name, and replication domain name, respectively. NOTE: The OSC, POE, and LS services must be configured during POE authentication. In other authentication scenarios, only the OSC and LS services need to be configured. The REP service must be configured if the remote replication feature is configured. You are advised to configure required service types for each node.
   Service Address	Indicates the IP address used to provide services for external systems. [Value range] When Service Type is set to OSC, the value can be an IPv4 address or domain name. A domain name contains 3 to 253 characters, including letters, digits, and hyphens (-) and cannot start or end with a hyphen (-). The domain name must contain a second-level domain name. Each subdomain name contains 1 to 63 characters and is separated from each other using periods (.). The top-level domain name cannot contain digits only. When Service Type is set to POE, LS, or REP, the value can be an IPv4 address.
   Resource	If the IP address of the LS service is configured, this parameter indicates the number of nodes in the LS service. If the IP address is not an IP address of the LS service, you do not need to change the value. The default value is 1.
