NAME
XAS::Docs::Startup - how to startup the XAS environment
SYSTEM STARTUP
The message queue and the database should be installed on a system with the resources needed to handle them. Once they are installed and started, the following can be completed.
Startup Scripts
They are located in /etc/init.d. They start the various daemons that run in the background. On Debian, running update-rc.d will then activate them.
At this point you need to decide how you want the environment to run. You can use xas-supervisor.pl to start and run the rest of the daemons or you can run them individually. There are advantages with either way. I would suggest running under the supervisor.
The following scripts are provided:
- xas-alerts
-
This process scans the database looking for unhandled alerts. If any are found an email is sent off to the approbiate people.
- xas-collector
-
This process monitors the queues on the message queue server. When messages arrive they are processed and stored in the database.
- xas-spooler
-
This process monitors the spool directories. When a spool file appears they are processed and sent to the message queue server.
- xas-supervisor
-
This is a process that starts and monitors other processes.
If you are not on a Debian derived system you will need to port these startup scripts to your platform. Contributions are greatfully accepted, expecially if you know of a way to reliably detect Linux distributions.
When this has been done, and the scripts are ran the basic system is now up and running. These procedures will process and provide notifications on any alerts that may be generated.
