Hi All,

I have an inquiry into an age old problem, that I have never really seen
a satisfactory answer for. In our respective environments we all have
servers. Some of these servers have fallen prey to what I like to coin
as the "hung process" syndrome. This is where an application (process)
will not necessarily fail or stop running, but for whatever reasons just
stop processing transactions. Needless to say the process monitoring
feature in Spectrum is not sufficient to detect this condition utilizing
the 'monitored processes' feature in the Information\System resources
section for a device. Many moons ago I had put something together
utilizing perfmon on a windows 2003 server. But it was cumbersome and
not easily portable.

Currently we are utilizing systemEdge agents on our servers, and I know
systemEdge can provide the same type of up/down process monitoring that
Spectrum can, but once again that is just up and down. But does anyone
have a solid solution that they are using to detect whether a process is
in a hung state or not? Is anyone using a reliable net-snmp solution?

 

Thanks
