Description of problem: Phase 1 of Application-Level monitoring. Focus on monitoring of guest services such as up/down status, listening on specific ports, simple response/request validation. Expected results: Simple HTTP request to app status page that should return with a response 200 and valid text. Simple database query that validates data is being properly returned and within a reasonable timeframe.
on windows this is relatively straightforward, but on Linux - how it should look like? All services? Just a textual dump of something like "service --status-all"? or some specific services only….configurable list of them? maybe set of customer-supplied scripts to monitor arbitrary services?
Post 3.5, there will be a feature page created for this particular feature where we can address both Windows and Linux. We need to start with something easily consumable, and the scripting idea has come up several times in various places.
i think we should use same approach of external monitoring for any type of guest by remote monitoring of the guest? no need to re-invent the wheel - something like pacemaker with resource agents? http://www.linux-ha.org/wiki/Resource_Agents
why do we want to do something new when we already have the nagios plugin? How about just deploy it
