WINDEV Concepts

170 Part 5: Setup Monitoring your applications An application depends on several external parameters: Website, HFSQL server, network, etc. To optimize the management of incidents, WINDEV allows you to use a monitoring robot. The monitoring robot, which is composed of three executables running on different computers, is used to run different tests: Internet connectivity check, network tests, etc. If a problem occurs during a test, the monitoring robot sends you a message using one of the following methods: • Message sent via PC SOFT’s messaging tool (WDBAL). • Email. • Via a third-party program. Furthermore, a sound alert can be implemented on the monitor. User computer: Monitor - Manages tests - Configures robots - Can directly run tests Computer 2: Counter-Robot - Tests the monitoring robot on a regular basis - Sends a message if a problem occurs Computer 1: Monitoring robot Configures - Runs tests on a regular basis - Sends a message if a problem occurs Monitoring test Configures Internet test (test of a Web site) Test of FTP server Test of HFSQL Client/Server servers Test of news server Network test (SNMP) Test of WINDEV application Custom test (in WLanguage) ...
