How to monitor Approval Server

2012-09-10 Thread Rob van Eerd
Hi, Like mentioned in this topic about a hanging E-Mail Engine (http://listserv.rbugs.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind1209L=ARSLISTD=0P=101940) we're occassionally experiencing similar behaviour with our Approval Server. We already restart our processes once a week, but that may not be enough. While

Well...one thing that I have always looked for in a load balancing is a 'smart' capability to tell you that something is functional. I have found most of the balancers on the market to not allow what I consider smart balancing. Most will do a ping, open a port, check a URL, that sort of
