Web Server Malfunction
A Malfunction problem indicates that the application is not functioning
properly because it responds correctly to certain connection requests and
incorrectly to other connection requests.
To diagnose Malfunction in this scenario, Application Connectivity Monitor
observes TimedOutSymptom events for TCP checks sent to one of the ports
on HTTPService. In addition, ACM may observe SlowSymptom events for
TCP checks sent to the ports used by webserver.example.com.
Figure 4 shows the Notification Properties for the HTTPService Malfunction
problem. Application Connectivity Monitor diagnosed the Malfunction
problem after observing a TimedOutSymptom event for a TCP check sent to
one of the ports of the Web server. Because one port is still responsive,
Application Connectivity Monitor does not diagnose this as a Down
problem.
