1843.0. "API to Cluster Monitor ?" by NETRIX::"euan@hhl.dec.com" (Euan McMaster) Fri Jan 24 1997 14:16

One of my customers, Reuters, wish to extend the capability of the
Cluster Monitor (or some other ASE daemon) so that it can check the 
health of some daemons of their own which monitor the accessability
of an ORACLE database which serves authentication credentials to
web browsers on the intranet.

Is there, or will there be, an API which allows them to hook their own
routines into ASE at this level ?

They are still on UNIX V3.2G so they need the capability in ASE 1.3

1843.1Some suggestionsKITCHE::schottEric R. Schott USG Product ManagementFri Jan 24 1997 16:3322
Hi

 I don't expect there to be more 1.3* releases on ASE (ie on V3.2*)

Your options as I see it are:

   - Use Polycenter Watchdog to monitor the apps, and have it do
     appropriate functions to restart of failover services

   - Write your own monitor, and have it restart or cause ase to
     failover  (or halt the system) 

   - File an ECP, with very specific request for new functionality...
     of course the ECP requires a strong business justification.


I think the first 2 options are most viable...and could be done
via an SI or CSS contract if needed.

regards

Eric

Eric,

Thanks for suggestions. I will explore the Watchdog option and get back to you
later for further help if necessary.
