Run-time default detection in a component associated with an application programming interface platform

摘要

Methods and apparatuses for fault detection in a component associated with an application programming interface platform are provided. In an embodiment, the component is determined to have been invoked to process a transaction. A forward progress counter is monitored to determine whether the component is processing the transaction, wherein the forward progress counter increments at determined intervals when the component is processing the transaction. A test transaction is executed for the component when a determination is made that the forward progress counter has not incremented for a threshold fault period. A fault alarm indicator is generated based on the determination that the forward progress counter has not incremented for the threshold fault period.

1. An apparatus for run-time fault detection in a component associated with an application programming interface platform, the apparatus comprising:
a memory storing computer program instructions; and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the computer program instructions, which, when executed on the processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising: determining that the component has been invoked to process a transaction; monitoring a forward progress counter to determine whether the component is processing the transaction, wherein the forward progress counter increments at determined intervals when the component is processing the transaction; executing a test transaction for the component when a determination is made that the forward progress counter has not incremented for a threshold fault period; and generating a fault alarm indicator based on the determination that the forward progress counter has not incremented for the threshold fault period.
