Automating TM1 instance monitoring v10.2.2

Post by vino1493 »

Hi All,

One of my job is to check whether all the instances (12) are up and running on every Monday morning. I would normally open Architect or Perspectives and count the number of instances visible. If the count equals 12, let the users know that the instances are up and running via mail.
I'm planning to automate is job. While doing so, two ideas crossed my mind:

1. Check if the windows service is running using PowerShell, but that could be wrong because even if service is running that doesn't mean TM 1 instance is up because some feeders may be regenerating at the back-end.
2. Check the server log for "Server ready" comment, this will work.

But is there any other way we can do this task? Any idea would be helpful!

In the cfg you can set a chore up to run when the server is up.

In this chore you could output a text files flagging the server state to a common directory, or whatever you want, maybe trigger a mail to the specific users of that instance.

Upto you where you go from here, you could read this information back into a TM1 Instance but of course that would need to be running as well...

that's definitely the best way.
