BusinessObjects Servers monitoring and their executables path
Hi Techies,
Just wanted to share some of groundwork, I did during my previous project engagement.
We were in the process of developing a utility which periodically monitors the BOE servers in real time and notify the Server Administration/Application support team up on fail. I formulated the below matrix after analyzing, hope it might be useful for people who are searching for similar kind of information.

Based on the above executables we can monitor the servers at operating system level using custom developed scripts (VBScript, Java Script & Shell Script)

Thank you for this information.
Hi Mani,
Do you have any steps to change the existing logging path to some other drive.
Thanks
Prasanth
Try this:
1654701 - How to redirect all the BusinessObjects logs generated in the logging directory in SAP BO BI 4.0?
Manual monitoring of the processes themselves! Good stuff.
Thanks Mani.
Hi Mani,
Do we have any scripts VB/Shell ? for monitoring these process using CRON/WINDOWS Scheduler.
My Idea is, the scripts will get execute periodically, identify and alert us if any service got hung/stopped etc .
Thanks,
Suneel Kumar
Good to see you here Suneel. You may no longer require this as we have a in-built monitoring solution within BI platform now.
