Abstract
A system monitors the status of persistent connections between a set of servers and a set of clients, and identifies any clients not having at least one active connection with a server. The monitoring system includes a monitoring server, a bind agent, and probe services running on respective servers. Upon receiving a monitoring request from the monitoring server, the bind agent requests each probe service to identify the clients having active connections with the associated servers. The bind agent forms an aggregated list of all clients having active connections with one or more of the servers and based on the aggregated list, the agent identifies any clients not having at least one active connection with a server and notifies the monitoring server of the identified clients. An exemplary implementation of the monitoring system is in a visual voicemail system.
