Hi,
Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
Every morning we log into our 3 BOXI servers and check the CCM to ensure that Apache Tomcat, the SIA and the World Wide Web Publishing Service are all running. Is there any way we can check this without actually logging into the server ie is there a Log or Logs somewhere where this information is held and these could be checked by a powershell script and an email is sent to us instead?
Thanks in advance.

If your need is to simply confirm that BO and its related components are available, there’s a number of ways to do it.
The there components you referred to run as Windows services. From the Windows services console, you can define actions to take when the service fails (see the Recovery tab). You could, for example, set it to run a batch file that logs the incident and/or sends an email.
But keep in mind that a running service is not necessarily an available server. On several occasions our BO environment has been unavailable (due to the repository database being offline), but the SIA is still running. If we just checked the service, we would not have known about the problem.
A better solution would be to confirm availability. Using PowerShell you could write a simple HTTP ping script that regularly checks your IIS and Tomcat servers.
