I am using WebSphere 6.2 and my requirement is I admin have to get an alert when the application on the server stopped or server down .. How to achieve this ? In higher versions this feature is there ? please help me
Thanks in Advance ,

I’m assuming you mean WebSphere application server processes (rather than the physical server on which WebSphere is running) and individual applications running on those processes. I’m also assuming you mean when those elements have stopped unexpectedly rather than when somebody has deliberately stopped them.
If so, you’re going to have to use external monitoring software to detect most of those conditions. We use a combination of scripts that scan for processes and specific error messages in logs and external site-monitoring software that checks for application responsiveness. Such scripts can be standalone, handwritten scripts, or run under generic monitoring tools from IBM (Tivoli) or 3rd-parties.
Alternatively, I think you should also be able to write something that uses JMX to read specific things about WebSphere state, and there is at least one sophisticated monitoring tool you could purchase, IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager (ITCAM) for Application Diagnostics, which can monitor WebSphere internals.
