ProCheck
Progress Solutions
ProCheck is a utility for monitoring non-database Progress processes such as:
- WebSpeed Transaction Broker & WebSpeed Agents
- AppServer Broker and AppServers
- Admin Server
- Name Server
Many BravePoint customers have issues with these processes dying without warning, locking up, or similar undesirable behavior, which can cause their application to eventually become unusable.
A customer commented:"We are currently working on QAD 2009 Enterprise Edition and it makes heavy use of AppServers and Webspeed brokers. Here are some things that we have already found to be a problem: 1) AppServers that are BUSY but don't have a user connection associated with them (basically the user has terminated their session but the AppServer is still processing the user's request)..."
This is exactly the kind of problem that ProCheck was designed to trap. ProCheck captures statistics similar to ProMonitor, but more importantly, it generates alerts whenever these processes are locked up or unable to be queried.
ProCheck Supports the Following Alerts:
- Can't Query AppServer Broker
- AS BUSY/LOCKED/SENDING too long
- Can't Query WebSpeed Broker
- WS Agent Unavailable for too long
- Can't Query Admin Server
- Can't Query Name Server
- Percent of AVAILABLE AS/WSA too low
- Client Queue Depth - Current
- Client Queue Depth - Maximum
- Request Wait - Average
- Request Wait - Maximum
- Request Duration - Average
- Request Duration - Maximum
- AS/WS Excessive Memory Consumption (future release)
- Agent Connection Verification & Resource Test (future release)
