Abstract
A system and method for monitoring a plurality of servers by a monitoring server in a computer network. A list of servers and a plurality of services to monitor in the computer network is generated at the monitoring server. A status query is transmitted sequentially by the monitoring server to each of the plurality of servers, the status query including the plurality of services to monitor at each server. A status message report is received from each of the plurality of servers in response to each status query. An event is reported in an event log for each server that has an abnormal service status. The transmission of the status query to each server is performed by the monitoring server at a specified service time interval.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, via a monitoring server, a plurality of services to monitor at each of a plurality of servers;
- transmitting a status inquiry at a Level 5 layer to each of the plurality of servers, and
- reporting an event in an event log for each of the plurality of servers where the status is abnormal.
A non-transitory computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having computer readable code embedded therein, the computer readable medium comprising:
- program instructions that determine, via a monitoring server, a plurality of services to monitor at each of a plurality of servers;
- program instructions that transmit a status inquiry at a Level 5 layer to each of the plurality of servers, and
- program instructions that report an event in an event log for each of the plurality of servers where the status is abnormal.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory communicably coupled to the processor;
- wherein the processor:
- determines a plurality of services to monitor at each of a plurality of servers;
- transmits a status inquiry at a Level 5 layer to each of the plurality of servers, and
- reports an event in an event log for each of the plurality of servers where the status is abnormal.
