Issue/Introduction

Would like to monitor OPMS when it is not functioning property.

Setup some ASM monitors to do checking on OPMS. For some reason OPMS lost connections to ASM backend servers and OPMS stopped doing monitors checks, but this condition did not raise an alert. 

Would like to request to add funcationality when an alert can be raised when above scenario occurs.  

Environment

ASM OPMS

Resolution

Opened an enhancement request for this item. 

Additional Information

As alternate we can suggest the following. 

1- Install the APMIA on the OPMS station server and have a perl script run a curl command every so often to the ASM server and report metrics back that way.

2- UIM Kubernetes probe could be one option, but we do not have any documentation or configuration guide on this.

3- using Cron and email notification could be  another way.

For Cron and email

If you want to check your OPMS station is up, from another server, then would do curl -v <opms server host or ip address>,

If you want to check from the OPMS server to the tunnel connectivity, then from the OPMS server, run:

curl -v opp1.asm.saas.broadcom.com

Set a Cron job and you could have run that so often and use Linux mail to notify you.

Above all are Linux commands and this is out side the scope of ASM support.
