# ds-mon-alive

When the value of this attribute is `true`, the server's internal tests have not found any errors that would require administrative action. This is not, however, a guarantee that the server is alive. It is possible that the server is subject to error conditions that its internal tests missed.

When the value of this attribute is `false`, however, administrative action is definitely required.
