I have a question about metrics. My boss is looking for a way to track
our application and database uptime metrics. I already do simple
connection checks to the databases and applications, but that really is
not a good indicator. The application/database could be down, but the IP
address would still be available. I was wondering if/how anyone in the
community is using Hobbit to watch/monitor application/database uptime
metrics. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank
you!
Write an ext script that mimics a user interacting with the
application, then use that to measure availability. This is
trivial for most databases and web applications.
