Monitoring Service Status...?

server administration XI Server Discussion
#1

In BOE-XI (R2) we could use tools like HP-OpenView to monitor the status of the various BOE-servers because they ran as individual Windows Services - and could be seen from the WINDOWS Services Menu (or CCM).

HP-OpenView could send us e-mail alerts when a service went down (eg. CMS).

Now, in BOE-XI (Release 3.1) only the Server Intelligence Agent (SIA) runs as an individual Windows Services - and can be seen from the WINDOWS Services Menu (or CCM).

Anyone figured-out how to “monitor” and “alert” the status of the BOE-XI (Release 3.1) services…?

You will still see the boxi processes running, even if they do not exist as Windows Services, I don’t know about OpenView, but you should be able to monitor them?

OK, so the CMS.EXE still runs on the server and can be seen in the TASK MANAGER…so we should be able to still monitor it with the HP-OpenView status.

Good News!

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if there is a way to monitor when a service goes down on a Linux platform? I want to receive and email any time any of the SIA’s go down. I am using Linux with BOXI R3.1. Any help would be great.
