Description


This analysis contains status information about the BES Client Helper Service. The BES Client Helper will monitor and restart the BES Client service and can be installed with the task .

After activating this analysis, a new Health Check will appear in the Deployment Health Checks Dashboard and the following properties will be created.

If that does not work, it will attempt to remove the entire BES Client data directory. If that does not work, a restart failure is recorded.

  • BES Client Helper Status
  • Number of BES Client Restart Failures
  • Number of Data Directory Failures
  • Number of Revocations Failures
  • Number of Times Restarted

Only about 10 to 20 percent of my clients that have issues are actually stopped, the rest of the systems that have issues just stop communicating and stop generating a log file. The think a nice addition to the besclienthelper service would be to check for a current log and then kill and restart the client if a log doesn't exist for more then a day...
