I have a monitor page in each of my applications that is called from an external server every five minutes. The monitor page runs a few essential queries to test database connectivity. If a query fails, I get an E-mail sent from the external server. If the entire page fails, I try to call an HTML page in that directory to see if the server is up.
You could also buy a product like Whats Up Gold <http://www.ipswitch.com/products/whatsup/index.asp> to monitor your database server. -Mike Chabot On 11/26/05, John Lucania <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I often experience that Data Source Names got lost the connectivity > due to various reasons such as power outage, reboot, network blip, > etc. Is there a way to monitor the DSN connectivity loss through > Scheduled Tasks (sending CFMAIL) or something else?
