Author Edge for failover & process monitoring

New to Edge Server and have been reading all the documentation I can find. I
understand the idea of the executer, manager and advisor.

It's pretty clear on how the advisors can connect on various ports to
establish if a server is 'up' but is there the ability to monitor processes
on a server to use these as a trigger for failover?

Any advice, thoughts, comments please!

many thanks,

Al,

You'll want to look into the metricserver functionality. The
metricserver agents run on the servers themselves and run any script you
create locally. So they can check local memory/cpu usage numbers,
whether certain other applications are running, etc, and provide that
data back to the manager for server weight consideration.
