Our NOC uses various ITSM tools, including Solarwinds and OpenDuty to send alerts out. I asked support if there was a best practice way to monitor any of the SAS services and applications that we run and the reply was "we have no recommendations regarding 3rd party tools." Currently, we are monitoring at the OS level. But we are currently fighting some problems with our disk filling up very rapidly. It has happened 3 times so far. The first time, generic curl commands would probably have worked, because apache did not load at all and was returning a 404 error. But the other time the ansible status command has mainly been up for the services and instead returns a 500 internal server error. Now that I know about healthcheck, I will run it the next time this happens. I would really like to get alerted if that happens again. Is there a way for my NOC department to use solarwinds to monitor specific Viya applications? I have read about the sas-admin healthcheck and have thought about using it to create some breadcrumb-type files that NOC could poll. Is there a more direct or better way to do this type of monitoring? I have attached a healthcheck that I ran a few minutes ago that includes the various services and applications that we have in our environment. If it's helpful to know, we have a 4 server environment: web (web, rabbitmq, ansible) app (cas) worker1 (cas worker) worker2 (cas worker)
