Description

Ensemble has a standard service available for use built into it, EnsLib.TCP.ServiceStatus. When included in your production, the service listens on a socket and parses an incoming string to determine what type of production status information is being requested, and then produces a reply string suitable for writing out to the console screen. Users interact with the status service directly, or for us script-o-holics, this is really a clean and easy way to write a command script that contacts the status service, issues commands, and writes the replies to a text file for later analysis. This makes for a lightweight, supported, monitoring solution that runs out of band from your Ensemble Productions. It can be used to monitor the system, or generate reports based on availability.
