So we have an application that makes udp calls and sends packets. However, since responses are given for UDP calls, how could we ensure that the service is up and the port is open and that things are getting stored?
The only thought we have right now is to send in test packets and ensure they are getting saved out to the db.
So my over all question is, is there a better, easier way to ensure that our udp calls are succeeding?
We took a different approach and we are checking to make sure the calls made it to the db. Its easy enough to query a table and ensure records are in there. If none recent, we know something is wrong. CodeGnome had a good idea, just not the route we went. Thanks!
