More about Reaction

When an IT incident occurs in a business application the primary warning place about the problem is the log file (or in worse case the business users as they got angry beacuse their business application is down and they cannot use it) and to remedy the problem operating system commands are executed. With Reaction the whole process can be made automatic, the log file of the business application can be monitored and if a known pattern of an error (i.e. out of memory error) is found there then series of predefined OS commands are going to be executed on one or more hosts.

Pattern-based log monitoring

The Reaction worker monitor the log file(s) of the business application(s). If a pre-defined pattern (which is basically a regular expression) is found then the worker will send a notification to the Reaction Engine which will start an execution flow to remedy the incident.

Incident resolving by executing OS commands

Remedy processes can be crafted for different problems that are going to be executed when the incident occurs (i.e. when the worker sends a notification about a pattern found in the log file). These processes are called execution flows and they can contain operating system commands, if-else and email sending operations.

Easy installation

Docker images are provided to start using Reaction as fast as possible. Manual installation is also possible, the Reaction Worker can be installed from RPM, an installation package can be used to set up and deploy the management web application and a standalone mode is provided for the engine.

Central administration

After the Reaction components are installed and set up only the management web application is needed to control the remedy processes. New flows can be created, the running flows can be monitored and managed, etc.
