DirectAccess Server Health Check URL

I am looking at using an external hardware load-balancer with a DirectAccess 2012 R2 implementation. Besides an ICMP echo-reply, does anyone know of a specific URL I could plug in as a health check to determine the DA server availability.
Thanks...

Hi,
A subject I'm currently working on. IPHTTPS, it's only TCP443, it does not proove that DirectAccess works. Because i wanted to avoid to write complex check rules, I choose to rely on Powershell.
A simple Get-RemoteAccessHealth -verbose | Where {$_.HealthState -ne "Disabled"} return status for all involved components (whatever your configuration). Each component can be OK or KO. I have a script that parse this result and write a simple
text file with OK or KO. This file is designed to be consumed by the HLB Appliance throught IIS (available on the DirectAccess Gateway). With such approach, monitoring DirectAccess health is becoming easy.
So your HLB applicance can detect if one of your DirectAccess Gateway is not operational (eg Failing OTP or expired certificate) and remove it from your pools.

SQL Server Health Check (T-SQL)

I'm looking for a peer review from my fellow SQL Server DBA's. I've written an 89-point health check that I'd really appreciate feedback on. You can find the health check scripts at www.sqlhc.com.
All scripts are free to use.
Thanks,

Excellent!!! Great work... thanks.

Powershell script for Exchange Server 2010 health check

People,
Can anyone here please share the Powershell to check the Exchange Server health and functionality after patching and Service Pack update?
I need to test multiple servers in my AD environment.
Thanks

Hi,
In Exchange 2010, you can use the Test-ServiceHealth cmdlet to test whether all the Microsoft Windows services that Exchange requires on a server have started.
A related article about this command.
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998852(v=exchg.150).aspx
You can also use the EXBPA tool to do Exchange server health check. You can look at the blog below.

Hope this is helpful to you.

How to health-check james server

as subject. want to have a process to health-check james server to see whether it's alive or not?
any ideas?
can we telnet the pop3 port of it and see any standard reply message to see it? thanks!

Time Machine automatically checks the backups on the disk. It does a quick check (a few seconds) before every backup, and periodically (every month, I think) does a much more thorough check.
You can do that yourself, by holding the Alt/Option key while selecting the TM icon in your menubar, and selecting Verify Backups. That may take quite a while, if you have a lot of data. I'd recommend connecting via Ethernet, as it will still be slow, but 2-3 times faster than WIFI.

Health Check in Exchange 2007 Scripting

Hi All,
I have been looking around for scripts which would help me perform regularised health checks in my enviornment. After lot of googling i was able to get a script which would meet my requirements. However i have a few challenges involved in extracting some
more information:
1. Mailbox Store Size, Free Diskspace percentage for mailbox servers
2. Remote Mail flow Tests & Mailflow test to every exchange 2007 mailbox servers in org.
3. Automating Email of collected data (in HTML) to Administrator.
4. Executing the script Automatically without triggering it from Exchange Management Shell.

Weblogic 11g Admin console - Admin Server Health shows "Warning"

Hi,
My env details : db 11.1.0.7, wls1033, RCU 11.1.1.3, soa 11.1.1.3, AIA11gR1 PS2
When I start only Admin server, Health shows "Ok" but when I start soa_server1, Admin Server Health becomes "Warning".
When I checked "Health information details" for Admin server, threadpool subsystem is showing "Warning".
Steps I tried to resolve this issue : increased "Stuck Thread Max Time" to "1200" and "Stuck Thread Timer Interval" to "120" and restarted server, but still it shows "Warning" for Admin server Health
Once I start soa_server1, Admin Server log shows below trace

Is there any information on this StuckThread Issue ?
It happens in every restart of the SOA Managed server.

Load Balancing Health Checks

I am looking for per-protocol health checks to work with a Netscaler load balancer for Exchange 2010. I have the one for OWA working (see below), but I cannot seem to find anything else on the other protocols (ECP, EWS, OAB, AS, etc.). Does anyone have this
information? Citrix website is less then helpful.
OWA health check:
Custom header: Agent: Mozilla/4.0\r\nHost: FQDN\r\n
Send String: GET /owa/auth/logon.aspx?url=https://FQDN/owa/&reason=0
Receive String: Outlook

CSS and Oracle10gAS webcache health check

Both CSS LBR's HEAD and GET health check requests failed for http://ip.address.for.the.server/_oracle_http_server_webcache_static_.html, a magic URL from Oracle10gAS webcache that only resides in memory (no file exists on disk). But I can use browser or gui-less browser 'elinks' and access it via IP to that URL with no problem.
Has anyone here encountered this issue? Does anyone have solution for this?
Many thanks,

WCCP Version 2 enables a series of Content Engines, called a Content Engine cluster, to connect to multiple routers. This feature provides redundancy and a more distributed architecture for instances when a Content Engine needs to connect to a large number of interfaces. This strategy also has the benefit of keeping all the Content Engines in a single cluster, avoiding unnecessary duplication of web pages across several clusters.

How can I support a health check, from a load balancer?

My company has load balancers which use health checks to determine if the end point is available for client traffic. The basic health check is a tcp ping, and will tell you if the device is on the network. The next level of health check is an http request. This request, and the response are static, you can’t create your own version of the request and response. The standard request is this:
     http://host:port/healthcheck/hc.html
The standard response is this:
     “The server is available”
I want to use the load balancer as part of my total deployment. The problem is that I am not seeing how to support this health check request and response in the MDEX engine. What I see is this request
     http://host:port/admin?op=ping
Will return this response
     dgraph <host>: <port> responding at <day month year time>
It is nice that there is a built in ping, but I am not able to make use of it. I am new to Endeca and still poking around. The dgraph process listens on a port set up in <…>/config/script/AppContext.xml
<dgraph id="Dgraph1" host-id="MDEXHost" port="3281">
<properties>
<property name="restartGroup" value="A" />
<property name="updateGroup" value="a" />
</properties>
<log-dir>./logs/dgraphs/Dgraph1</log-dir>
<input-dir>./data/dgraphs/Dgraph1/dgraph_input</input-dir>
<update-dir>./data/dgraphs/Dgraph1/dgraph_input/updates</update-dir>
</dgraph>
(I am not using the default port, as I only have an instance on a shared server and have to worry about port clashing. But that is a different thread.)
In a standard tc Server install I can support this health check by doing this:
* Create a directory named “healthcheck”, in the “webapps” directory.
* Place a file name “hc.html” in that directory, which contains “The server is available”
The one hack which comes to mind is to write a servlet which would be able to be a smart proxy for the load balancer health check. It would pass along any regular traffic to the MDEX engine. But if the request was a health check it would send “admin?op=ping” to the MDEX engine, and for a good response from the engine, create and pass back the correct response to the load balancer.
Ideas, comments, flames, …
Thanks

Hi, we are using following String to test the MDEX ping response but we get the invalid version formation on dgraph.log -
following is on F5
GET /admin?op=ping HTTP/1.1/r/nHost:myhost.endeca.com:19000/r/nConnection:close/r/n/r/n
Following gets logged on Dgraph.log
WARN 09/05/12 05:30:03.799 UTC (1346823003799) DGRAPH {dgraph} Invalid version format in 'HTTP/1.1/r/nHost:myhost.endeca.com:19000/r/nConnection:close/r/n/r/n'
Please let me know - if you have any suggestions to solve this issue.
I know that it works from browser and wget from unix with following commands.
wget http://myhost.endeca.com:19000/admin?op=ping - from unix command line
from browser:
http://myhost.endeca.com:19000/admin?op=ping

The crawler could not communicate with the server. Check that the server is available and that the firewall access is configured correctly. If the repository was temporarily unavailable, an incremental crawl will fix this error

We are getting the below error when we see in Crawl logs
"The crawler could not communicate with the server. Check that the server is available and that the firewall access is configured correctly. If the repository was temporarily unavailable, an incremental crawl will fix this error."
This is happening in FAST search.
Here I can see soke of the logs related to this search crawl.
Could anyone please help on this?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got error when communicating to the server.
This happens when crawler is not able to connect to the server. Make sure server name is correct. Couple of steps to troubleshoot it
You should be able to ping the server from the server having crawl component. Make sure there is an entry for the server in the host file under c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder.
          Ping <servername>
      2. You should be able to connect to the server using telnet command
Telnet< servername> <port number>
More information:
Troubleshooting of FAST Search Configuration
If the issue still exists, you can delete the old search application and recreate from the beginning.
You can also reset the index and do a full crawl after.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

Vmware vsphere health check report v5.1.0

Hi,
I'm currently using the vmware vsphere health check report v5.1.0 script. I switched from another perl script to this and the report provide much more information. There is one thing that don't seem to work properly though..
I currently have a failed disk in my server and the report is showing "unknown" status next to 3 disk / disk day. If I run the other script I have used in the past, I have 3 alerts in red clearly showing that something has failed. Would any of you know why it's showing as unknown instead of critical in the report?

Thank you for the follow up. I do understand that a completly unreadable disk might throw an unknown status but the status is different from one report than the other. On one side, it clearly shows in red that the disk has something and on the side, it just throws a "I don't know what's going on with the disk". I ran both report the same day and i'm expecting some red in the report to warn me if a disk fail.
Is there a way to change that behavior from the health check script?

Database Health Check Enquiry

Hi all,
Some enquires regarding database health check. I did some research regarding health check, got overwhelmed by the information available out there.
Currently I don't have any report on hand, but currently working and starting on one. This report serves as a report for reference, to understand if there's any database performance issue, and as a report for management.
Wish to check with you folks, what are the typical things that I can look at on a daily basis to understand my database health status, eg. Buffer Hitrate, database I/O etc, especially those that may/will contribute to impact on the database performance. Or is there any good reference link whereby I can do some readup regarding such a health check?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Eugene

Hi Eugene,
Well that's a pretty open question and I guess you will get a lot of replies which I look forward to monitoring as there should be some very interesting ones there.
Anyway, let me just open with one point that I have found very useful in the past. As regards Database Performance , you can look as much as you like at the statistics and a great deal of discretion is required in interpreting them but the real test for me of how well a database is performing is in terms of the user (or application) perception. Are the responses from the database good enough to meet the users expectations. Check the average response time for example and set guidellines for what is acceptable, very good response , very bad response etc.
I use this as a guideline so then once the database is perfoming in the sense that the user is satisfied (or better still happy with the performance) we can gather the statistics (from Oracle 10g onwards there are lots of tools built in like ADDM and AWR for gathering and storing the database statistics) and create baselines. Once we have baselines for a normally performing system, as soon as problems are reported we can run off a diagnostic tool like ADDM for that period , compare it against the baseline and look for the striking differences. From there we can start an analysis of individual numbers, buffer hit ratios etc. to delve further.
Hope this helps , I am sure lots of other people will chip in to this
Regards

Automatic connection "ping" / health check in TopLink JPA ?

Some days ago we experienced problems with our underlying Oracle database, so the DB server hat to be shut down and rebootet. The application server machine (running Apache Tomcat 5.5 on a Linux OS) which provides several web-applications that are using Toplink JPA were not restarted after the DB was up again.
We encountered several subsequent "connection reset" errors within the webapps which where produced by TopLink JPA. I'd assume that this comes from the underlying restart of the DB, which invalidated/closed TopLink's JPA connection.
is there any option e.g. to be set in persistence.xml to enable a Connection-"ping" or "health check" before TopLink JPA is using the connection?
e.g.
toplink.jpa.connection.ping = "select 1 from dual";
regards,
Hans

Hans,
There is nothing built in but you can use an ExceptionHandler to handle failures and re-connect connection. This is typically only an issue when using TopLink's internal connection pooling. It is more common in a container to use its data sources and rely on them to handle connection management.

SMS_STATE_MIGRATION_POINT Health check failed for port 80 with status code 500

My SMS_STATE_MIGRATION_POINT gets a red cross because the health check of the SMS_STATE_MIGRATION_POINT is “sometimes” failing. I don’t understand why its fails sometimes? Any suggestions.

Exchange 2013 Daily Health Check Script

Hi All,
I recently migrated from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. Prior to the migration the daily health check was being used daily to send my team and I the HTML report.
I have downloaded the new v1.07 script and followed the same rules and settings I used for Exchange 2010 when setting up the script.
The script only runs now via Exchange shell and does not send the HTML report and I am unable to run the script via a batch file that called the ./ps1 file in a windows command prompt and am also unable to as a result, use the task scheduler to schedule
this task.
I am desperately in need of getting this morning report as its been so useful, I cant do without it now.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much
Alton

So, could you please check this link, it provide the solution to check the daily health of exchange 2013 :
