Monitoring applications using Cactus
A question please ...
In my company the hotline uses the monitoring tool BigBrother (think of a
web-frontend with red or
green dots behind a hostname or an application reporting availability).
To monitor our web-applications we like to use standard cactus tests for
testing the availability of
any Backend-System (Database, LDAP, MQ-Series, IMS, etc.) used in an
application and from
within the application process.
The only problem I see at the moment is:
The client side has to notify the monitoring application about the status
of a test. In the case the
application is not available at all (f.e. server down) the cactus framework
does not give me any
chance to catch this exception (on the client side) and notify BigBrother.
Is it possible to catch the cactus exception
ChainedRuntimeException: Failed to get the test results ... ?
Any other ideas?
Regards,
Toni

Hi Toni,
Honestly, I dont think Cactus is the best tool for this. I would think more
about using a "JMX" kind of framework for this (search "application
monitoring" on google) or using AOP if you want to build it yourself (t's
very easy to develop some monitoring services using AOP).
