Checking App for Life

Chuck Hill

We usually just use a script that runs as a cron job.  It hits a direct action on the app that returns a known "all is OK" response.  If that does not get returned, alarms ring.

We use Nagios with the checkhttp plugin.  This plugin actually make a HTTP (or HTTPS, if the plugin was compiled with openssl support) to our apps and check a DirectAction to see if it's answer "1".  If not, Nagios send a trigger.
