Hi There, I am trying to automate a failover based on services. The scenario is this:

If Server A have Service A fail for x minutes and fails to restart itself Server B should start Service A on itself.

This would result in me having a series of monitors checking several services on Server A, if they all fail to come back online after say 5 minutes, the services are started on a DR server.

The application doesn't have the option in itself so I am looking for a clever way around it to save being woken at stupid o'clock.

Thanks

Paul

You can create a notification that will start the service or run whatever script you want.

However I do not think there is a checkbox feature that will do that.

Maybe make a notification which execute a script which by remote start up the service on server B?

Never done it myself, but I see you can make a Notification that execute a program under your account settings and making a new notification.

Then go to the sensors your want and apply it there.
