Monitoring SDL Tridion Sites processes
Beyond the basic health checks of your Content Delivery microservices and Topology Manager, you can set up and use the Monitoring feature, which enables you to monitor and report on the status of various SDL Tridion Sites processes.
- Interacting with the Application Monitoring Web service
You can access the Application Monitoring Web service through, for example, the SOAP protocol. The Web service exposes aTridionMonitoringAgentinterface with aGetStatus()method that returns an array ofServiceStatuselements. - Detecting heartbeat processes automatically
Monitoring can automatically detect processes that produce heartbeats, if they are up and running, and write them to a file. You can perform this detection to see the names of the processes and configure Monitoring to monitor them explicitly, so that you will also know if they are down. - Catching SNMP traps using an external application
For your external application to receive SNMP notifications (traps), you must configure its host name and port number in the configuration file of the Monitoring Agent and, depending on the SNMP version, select additional configuration options. - Monitoring Translation Manager processes
Application Monitoring is a module of SDL Tridion Sites that allows you to monitor the status of SDL Tridion Sites processes including the Translation Manager Service process. - Using Monitoring to check if the Import and Export service is up and running
You can configure Monitoring functionality to monitor the Import and Export service. The service is not a separate process, but it is hosted in the Tridion Service Host. Note that you can also check on the status of an import, export or undo process using the Web service API, usingGetProcessInfoandGetProcessID. - Monitoring Content Porter processes
You can configure monitoring functionality in SDL Tridion 2013 to monitor two Web services: the import-export service, which takes care of the actual exporting and importing of content items, and a service that browses a Content Manager instance. If you want to monitor the Import and Export service on SDL Tridion 2013 SP1 or later, which replaces Content Porter Server, refer to the SDL Tridion 2013 SP1 or SDL Tridion Sites documentation for the Import and Export service.
