If it's on IBMi, can't you do a Brad-Bot to hit a server URL and/or check log files in the IFS ?

subject: [IBMiOSS] Monitoring Nodejs servers remotely...

Here's a scenario.. I think I know the answer, but I want to make sure.

Let's say I am helping a client and putting together nodejs applications for them. I have found and love pm2 to keep things running, logging, etc.

But, is there any way to monitor without needed to be on through their VPN? like sending the server a ping of some sort and having it return info?

Or if it goes down hard, errors etc have it let me know? Maybe call a program (CL, RPG, etc) or something else? Send a text, email, etc.

Maybe what I'm asking for is best practices for nodejs server monitoring/catching/notifying.

We should assume the client has no experience with PASE or node and will rely on a 3rd party to do most of the heavy lifting.

There just seems like so much that can go wrong. I'm used the the apache server and RPG more. With pm2 things are better, but I still don't trust it as much. :) If that makes any sense.
