I have been searching for a way to have my Mac Pro running 4D Server app notify me if the server app has "hung" or crashed outright. I am not a programmer, but simply a small business owner trying to stay on top of the systems we have. Having stumbled into Pulseway this week, I am so far impressed with its capabilities. It looks just like what I need!

However, I could not find a way to tell it to notify me if my database app runs into trouble. The physical machine is extremely stable, but I am grateful for the notifications that Pulseway offers in terms of dismounting volumes, failing drives, etc. My one last need is to be notified if the server application hangs or crashes. I have identified the app in the Notifications/Applications panel: Send a notification when an application is closed. I then picked the 4D Server.app from the list. However, I was hoping there was a way to build a script that would let me know if the server was still up, but not responding. But not a programmer, like I said.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi,

Unfortunately we don't support detecting hanged applications on macOS just yet. We will consider it for a future release.

Hi I know this is an old post, but maybe this suggestion would be helpful.

You find out what ports that database uses, and then set Pulseway to monitor those ports.  Chances are, if the application hangs, then it won't respond on those network ports.

Hope that is helpful.
