Description:
BA Team has developed a very userful & convenient tool to automate the process of checking servers/instances status.
The advantage of using the application relies on its "Versatility" and its very easy way of way to use it.
Scope:
This application allows to configure and check:
FTP, SFTP, Telnet, Data Base, Servers, RDP Accesibility, Services, Memory, Disks, Processors, Mail Boxes, Biztalk Suspended Messages, and other Applications.
Customize:
You can easily add new functionalities and other checking tasks by using a BAT file.
Benefits
:Time saving. Easy to maintain. Doesn't requiere an operating resource to do the job. All team members could have the server status checked and recived a notification about the same.
:Time saving. Easy to maintain. Doesn't requiere an operating resource to do the job. All team members could have the server status checked and recived a notification about the same.Team(s) Impacted:This applicaction is meant to help all assets to know their applications status.
Implementation Approach:
Our "Automatic Server Health Check" application has a similar functionality but it also checks automatically the status of all Assets and displaying the same in different color according to the results. This application has a distributed architecture.
On the right side I have attached the Control Board design followed by a Brief description of the same.
The Application has three components:

On the right side I have attached the Control Board design followed by a Brief description of the same.
The Application has three components:
- -"Control Board": this will run on a SharePoint platform, simply because SharePoint allows you to create and warehouse application lists with the Web Service address which collects all the status.The Control Board gathers information from all assets and displays it on the screen as shows of the attached picture.
- -"Web Service": allows you to check the testing functionality and to obtain the requested status/es.
- -"Core": these are DLL files, which hold the testing inner logic and its configuration.The core can be customized according to each testing needs.
These two last Components need to be installed on each Assets servers, so its configuration can be modified or changed by the different teams according to their usage by using an existing service account without risking the service security.
Each server has its own testing process, which can be manually executed.
The control board collects the information from all assets and displays it on the screen.
Currently we are testing other functionalities to expand its scope.
