Re: IBM i Monitoring utility

On a similar note does anybody have any thoughts on tools that can monitor
the health of an IBMi LPAR when the health monitoring is performed from an
external agent using ODBC?  If the ODBC connection fails, or the network
connection fails, the tool cannot detect the difference and will report
host is down. This is not entirely satisfactory since it can generate
false alerts.  One piece of advice I saw was to leverage the HMC and use
API calls to the HMC to detect the host status which is likely to be more
robust. Has anybody have an experience with this?
