Creating Monitoring Checks
You can monitor logs and processes with Redwood Server by using checks in process servers. See Monitoring External Systems with Platform Agents for more information on the different styles. Once a check does not have the expected value, you can submit Reaction Process Type process definitions and/or fire ad hoc alerts. Note that you can also use monitor alert sources mapped to the monitor created in the monitor tree, this allows more control over when to fire an alert.
Reaction Process Type processes can attempt to fix the issue by, for example, restarting the affected database or application. To create a Reaction Process Type process definitions, simply set Reaction Process Type on the Options tab of the process definition. Any process definitions that have Reaction Process Type set to Check or Any can be called from process server checks. These processes will automatically be populated with the required parameters so any unknown parameters will be removed when you toggle the reaction process type switch.
