Health Management – Health Policies

 Health policies can be defined for common server health conditions

 When a health policy's condition is true, corrective action execute automatically or require approval

• Notify administrator (send email or SNMP trap)

• Capture diagnostics (generate heap dump, java core)

• Restart server

 Excessive response time means you are monitoring what matters most: your customer's experience!

 Application server restarts are done in a way that prevent outages and

service policy violations

 Each health policy can be in supervise or automatic mode.

Supervise mode is like training wheels to allow you to verify that a health policy does what you want before making it automatic.

Helps mitigate common health problems before outages occur

Health Conditions

•Excessive request timeouts: % of timed out requests

• Excessive response time: average response time • Excessive garbage collection: % of time spent in GCs • Excessive memory: % of maximum JVM heap size

• Age-based: amount of time server has been running

• Memory leak: JVM heap size after garbage collection • Storm drain: significant drop in response time

• Workload: total number of requests
