ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and Method for distributed monitoring of endpoint devices using gateway servers is provided. With this apparatus and method, a healthcheck engine is provided on each of the gateway servers having endpoint devices that are to be monitored. The healthcheck engine periodically or continuously sends requests to the endpoint devices that they respond with a hostname transmitted to them. If the endpoint responds, a list of monitored endpoints is updated with a new timestamp indicating the time when the response was received. If a response is not received, a determination is made as to whether one or more time thresholds has been exceeded. If so, a Tivoli Enterprise Console event corresponding to the particular threshold exceeded, is sent to the TEC server.
