These seems like an odd feature for DSpace to have. There are many other
better "monitoring" solutions available, and usually as a system admin you want
your monitoring software to reside on a different server (so that it can also
monitor whether or not the server is even up or online). We feel like it'd be
more appropriate to use normal monitoring software. There are even free,
online monitoring options available which already do this for you (e.g.
Mon.itor.us : http://mon.itor.us/)
[16:02] <tdonohue> http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-478 : Monitoring
class run as a scheduled (cron) task to 'ping' the installation URL and report
if no valid response is received.
[16:03] <kshepherd> DS-478: hm. this looks like a strange way to achieve
monitoring
[16:03] <tdonohue> +0 : there's other monitoring software out there that does
this better. Not sure it should be part of DSpace
[16:03] <mhwood> Yes, 478 seems as though it might be a little too specific to
the way a particular site does monitoring.
[16:03] <kshepherd> monitoring software should *never* be part of what it's
trying to monitor ;)
[16:04] <kshepherd> and hopefully not even on the same physical machine!
[16:04] <tdonohue> ok...I'll assign this to myself and add a comment similar to
this
> Monitoring class run as a scheduled (cron) task to 'ping' the installation

> Very simple monitoring class that 'pings' the installation URL and emails a
> specified recipient if no valid response is received. Typically this might be
> scheduled to run as a scheduled task first thing in the morning. Why would
> you not get a valid response from the ping ?...
> If the machine has been restarted but not all applications have been started
> eg Tomcat
> Tomcat has run out of memory
> No more database connections are available
> etc.
> I have attached the class, the email template, a script, and an excerpt from
> dspace.cfg. I haven't created a patch as the release of 1.6 is immenent but
> if this contribution were deemed acceptable I would happily do so.
