Setting up Ping Tests

by Brian Bockelman — last modified 2006-05-23 10:44

One of the best ways to guess if a server is down is to ping it; MonaLisa has this capability, and it is easy to integrate.

Having MonaLisa systematically ping servers is as easy as editing your config file:

${MonaLisa_HOME}/Service/VDTFarm/vdtFarm.conf

Add the servers you want to ping using this format:

*Ping
>t2.unl.edu
monPing%40
>alliance
monPing%40
>localhost.localdomain
monPing%40
>thpc-1.unl.edu
monPing%40
>node001
monPing%40
...

where you ping about once every 40 seconds, and it goes to servers t2.unl.edu, alliance, localhost.localdomain, thpc-1.unl.edu, etc. If you want these tests to show up in a cluster other than "Ping", edit the first line.
