SURVIVOR Technical Document: Execution Duration Measurements
About This Document

This document contains details of the SURVIVOR implementation. It contains no information necessary for the operation of the systems monitor that is not available in the general sections of this manual.

Execution Duration Measurements

SURVIVOR provides a mechanism for measuring the duration of module execution. This can be useful for, as an example, measuring the response time of services.

Standard Check Modules

Standard check modules are responsible for performing their own duration measurement, as described here. Routines are provided with the standard module libraries to transparently handle duration measurement in most circumstances, as described here.

Composite Checks

Duration measurements for composite checks are calculated by adding together the duration measurements for each component check. (This is subject to change in a future release.)

Other Modules

Other types of modules do not currently support duration measurement.
