Send Notification when my aem form on jee is down

[Amreen1]

Hi Team,

In my project aem form on JEE (6.5.0.2) installed on Window machine. But sometimes when I hit the REST API through postman, it may take more time compared to actual execution time or it gave 500 status code.

I just wanted to check is there any configuration where if server is down, we can send the email notification to particular group

You need to explore monitoring service here I think.

AEM Forms Monitoring Service

Yes, but all are related to aem as cloud not any with aem forms.

Hello @Amreen1 

There are several tools available for monitoring AEM Forms on JEE. These include:

Splunk: Used for log analysis, error detection, and monitoring application performance. It can search for errors, view thread dumps, and explore CDN logs.
Prometheus: For exploring firing alerts and monitoring metrics.
Grafana: For exploring red metrics and author persistence.

You can use them as per your use-case for sending the emails when server goes down.

Thanks,

Hi @Amreen1,

You can utilize monitoring tools that can monitor the health of your AEM Forms on JEE. Tools like Nagios, New Relic, or Dynatrace can be integrated with AEM JEE services to monitor server uptime and performance metrics.

Additionally, you can develop custom health checks using available APIs to ensure that specific services related to AEM Forms on JEE are operational depending upon the service that you are using.

You can do that by setting up automated scripts or use orchestration tools that can attempt to do a test invocation of a JEE service and it can help you with predefined recovery actions when a downtime event is detected.

Hey @Pranay_M ,
Do you have any idea why generally servers getting down. Is it something if the cache size increased((SrvApps/AEMForms/jboss/standalone/tmp/vfs) more than 2.5GB it will become slow.

Hi @Amreen1,

If you have a Windows server, it is generally recommended to have a free disk space of 15 GB of temporary space plus 22 GB for AEM and if you have RHEL setup, it is recommended to have 6 GB of temporary space plus 22 GB for AEM Forms on JEE.

Thanks
Pranay
