Abstract
A computer receives a heartbeat message that includes both program reset information and at least one segment, of the heartbeat message, that is configured to indicate whether or not a first program is functioning correctly. The computer determines if the heartbeat message includes the indication that the first program is functioning correctly. If the computer determines that the heartbeat message indicates that the first program is functioning correctly, then the computer sends a data stream to the first program.
Claims20
A method of monitoring a hierarchy of program components executing on computer hardware, the method comprising:
- a computer receiving a heartbeat message that includes both program reset information and at least one segment of the heartbeat message that is configured to store an indication that a first program is functioning correctly;
- the computer determining if the heartbeat message includes the indication that the first program is functioning correctly;
- and
- responsive to the determination that the heartbeat message includes the indication that the first program is functioning correctly, the computer sending a data stream to the first program.
A computer program product for monitoring a hierarchy of program components executing on computer hardware, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive a heartbeat message that includes both program reset information and at least one segment of the heartbeat message that is configured to store an indication that a first program is functioning correctly;
- program instructions to determine if the heartbeat message includes the indication that the first program is functioning correctly;
- and
- program instructions to respond to the determination that the heartbeat message includes the indication that the first program is functioning correctly, by sending a data stream to the first program.
A computer system for monitoring a hierarchy of program components executing on computer hardware, the computer system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer-readable storage media;
- program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive a heartbeat message that includes both program reset information and at least one segment of the heartbeat message that is configured to store an indication that a first program is functioning correctly;
- program instructions to determine if the heartbeat message includes the indication that the first program is functioning correctly;
- and
- program instructions to respond to the determination that the heartbeat message includes the indication that the first program is functioning correctly, by sending a data stream to the first program.
