External TCP port monitor 5150
Hi all,
We have a crapy app that crashes internally even though the monitored service (TCP Half Open on port 29029) stays up. The app developer wrote a small program that will return a "1" if the application is functioning properly or a "0" if the app is down (due to database connections and other issues) on TCP port 5150. What I have been researching is how to write an external port monitor that will check TCP port 5150 and mark down a pool member if a "0" is received. I have looked through the links below and they are very helpful, at least I know it can be done and I am now in the ball park as far as the solution goes. I am wondering if anyone has advice on this or has done something similar to this in the past. Thanks!
