A METHOD AND APPLIANCE FOR USING A DYNAMIC RESPONSE TIME TO DETERMINE RESPONSIVENESS OF NETWORK SERVICES

摘要

In a method and appliance for using a dynamic response time to determine responsiveness of one or more network services on a server, a monitor determ ines a response time for each of one or more network services. The monitor e stablishes an average response time based on the determined response time fo r each of the one or more network services. The monitor associates with the established average response time a predetermined threshold for which the re sponse time of the one or more network services may deviate from the average response time and maintain an indication of responsiveness. The monitor mon itors the response time of the one or more network services to one or more r equests. The monitor determines that the response time of the one or more ne twork services deviates from the average response time by the predetermined threshold. The monitor indicates that the one or more network services are u navailable.
