Available Tests

HTTP Heartbeat checks that at least one backend listener is processing messages on its JMS queue. It performs a HTTP request to the PRECISION server and checks whether the response matches an expected phrase. You can use this test to check whether a ping message posted to Highway is returned. A positive response indicates that the system is online, queuing messages, processing messages, and returning responses. This check confirms at least one backend listener is processing messages off its JMS queue.

Note: The HTTPHeartbeat test is primarily intended to post messages to a Highway endpoint. If the listener is not running then there will be a build up of messages on the endpoint. To avoid a large build up of test messages on a JMS queue, you can configure Highway to remove expired messages from the input queue. For more information on removing messages, see https://knowledgebase.qad.com/kmp/article/AA-52636.

File Exists checks whether a file exists on the server. This test can be used to check for the existence of *.hprof files. If such files exist then it indicates that JBoss or the Highway database have run out of memory.

File Recently Changed tests that a specified file has changed recently. This test lets you check if the listener log files are being updated. Regular updates indicate that the listeners are running; conversely, a lack of updates indicates a problem.
