We do a variety of checks that look at hardware,
environment and business processes.
Examples beyond the normal disk space/ping/ checks
include:
Number and/or age of unprocessed files in a "pick-up"
directory for batch processes.
Undeliverable messages from an SMTP server
Busy/failure rates on inbound and outbound fax
servers.
Queue lengths for import processes
General server health via SNMP (is the front panel light
GREEN or RED?)
UPS battery status
SQL job status (odbc query)
File sizes of critical application data
tables

Subject: [SA-list] What's all being monitored...
In regards to services, process, disk space, etc on your servers, what are
some of the things being monitored using Servers Alive? I'm guessing Ping and
DNS are the default, especially for domain controllers, and SMTP for the mail
servers, but what else? Anyone bothering to monitor disk space and/or processes
etc?
Any responses are appreciated.
