Hi Jim, Thank you for the input. However, I was hoping to be able to leverage our existing solutions.

It can detect (and act on) hung processes, among other things, but the agents do not respond to SNMP like sysEdge. Instead, there is a central AppManager server that traps to Spectrum, and we wrote a southbound gateway integration for it. I can provide more details off-list if you'd like.

In our respective environments we all have servers. Some of these servers have fallen prey to what I like to coin as the "hung process" syndrome. This is where an application (process) will not necessarily fail or stop running, but for whatever reasons just stop processing transactions. Needless to say the process monitoring feature in Spectrum is not sufficient to detect this condition utilizing the 'monitored processes' feature in the Information\System resources section for a device. Many moons ago I had put something together utilizing perfmon on a windows 2003 server. But it was cumbersome and not easily portable. Currently we are utilizing systemEdge agents on our servers, and I know systemEdge can provide the same type of up/down process monitoring that Spectrum can, but once again that is just up and down. But does anyone have a solid solution that they are using to detect whether a process is in a hung state or not? Is anyone using a reliable net-snmp solution?
