    That is quite a list :)

     

    I would say stick with the monitor program you wrote. It would need to exit with 100 (offline) or 110 (online).

    You can't use pattern matching with Application agent so your choices are:

    1. Use MonitorProgram
    2. Use PidFiles
    3. Use Agent builder where you can use pattern matching using the "MonitorProcessPatterns" attribute (see https://sort.symantec.com/agents/detail/5711)

Hi Riaan,

Sorry for the confusion from my end.

Actually, bringing the Application resource ONLINE is indeed starting my application automatically due to StartProgram attribute.

But, I had to write a monitor program to detect OFFLINE state of my application & use MonitorProgram attribute as MonitorProcesses attribute didn't work for me.

My application process string is of 28 lines(as per ps -ef output) & specifying its substring in MonitorProcesses doesn't help as it requires the exact string.

My question is can we specify such a huge string(like 28 lines of string in my case) in MonitorProcesses?

 

Thanks,

Pawan
