Dr.Web Monitor

Dr.Web Monitor is a memory resident module drweb-monitor.

It is used to increase fault-tolerance of the whole Dr.Web for Novell Storage Services suite. It ensures correct startup and termination of suite components as well as restart of any component if it is operating abnormally. Dr.Web Monitor starts all modules and loads, if necessary, some extra components of these modules. If Dr.Web Monitor fails to start a module, it repeats an attempt later. Number of attempts and time period between them are defined by Dr.Web Monitor settings.

After all modules are loaded, Dr.Web Monitor permanently controls their operation. If any module or one of its components operates abnormally, Dr.Web Monitor restarts the application. Maximum number of attempts to restart a component and a period of time between them are defined by Dr.Web Monitor settings. If any of the modules starts to operate abnormally, Dr.Web Monitor notifies the system administrator.

Dr.Web Monitor can interact with Dr.Web Agent by exchanging control signals.
