We have something like this set up on our production services that use tomcat (except they're perl scripts :-). They just run certain checks periodically and take appropriate action (e.g., try to restart tomcat, mail support staff) when they find a problem. The checks are things like seeing if the tomcat process is running, grepping the logs for certain failure conditions, and the above-mentioned trying to access the applications' URLs. The script can be run via cron as suggested above; another alternative, which we use, is to have the script running all the time, sleeping between each iteration of checks. (In case anyone asks that I post/send them an example script: This type of thing is really easy to program to anyone with a modicum of scripting skills; further, most of the "interesting" stuff is in the particular checks that you run, and that's going to be specific to your environment/application, so you're going to need to figure those out yourself anyway.) > -----Original Message----- > From: Guy Katz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, April 19, 2004 11:06 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Tomcat monitoring > > if you can do with an application wide (notifying when your application is > up) - use a ContextListener. > personaly i dont know a tomcat wide way of doing this. > thanks. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Taylor, Kevin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, April 19, 2004 3:51 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Tomcat monitoring > > > Hi, > > Does anyone know of any monitoring software for detecting when a tomcat > instance becomes unavailable and notifying support persons via email/page? > Something open source, preferably. > > TIA. > > > --Kevin Taylor > > > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body > of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST". > > Archives: http://archives.java.sun.com/archives/servlet-interest.html > Resources: http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/external-resources.html > LISTSERV Help: http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/user/user.html > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body > of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST". > > Archives: http://archives.java.sun.com/archives/servlet-interest.html > Resources: http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/external-resources.html > LISTSERV Help: http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/user/user.html > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body > of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST". > > Archives: http://archives.java.sun.com/archives/servlet-interest.html > Resources: http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/external-resources.html > LISTSERV Help: http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/user/user.html > > Milt Epstein Research Programmer Integration and Software Engineering (ISE) Campus Information Technologies and Educational Services (CITES) University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
