  • Active Checks are initiated from the System Monitor server and are performed on a regular basis, e.g. every 5 minutes.
    • The purpose of Active Checks is to verify the availability of the JS7 components.
    • Active Checks make use of the JS7 - REST Web Service API. For efficiency the checks are implemented with Perl.
  • Passive Checks are initiated from the JOC Cockpit and report execution results of workflows and jobs to a System Monitor.
    • This mechanism is by far more accurate and efficient than polling the JS7 History for failed workflows and jobs.
    • The JS7 - NotificationsNotification can be used for management of complex Passive Checks that are forwarded to a System Monitor.
