Hi, I'm looking for a solution for monitoring the Gateway process and its underlying java runtime (Zulu Platform x64 architecture) so that in case of failure, the tool could restart the Gateway. Something like this: [Automatically Restart Crashed Or Hanged Applications | W-Shadow.com](https://w-shadow.com/blog/2009/03/04/restart-on-crash/) but native in the OS or a more official or professional tool with the ability to identify more precisely the process to monitor. Kind regards. ---

The actual Java process that runs the Ignition gateway is _already_ managed by a 'service wrapper' - specifically Tanuki's: [What is the Java Service Wrapper? - Java Service Wrapper](https://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com/doc/english/introduction.html) The `ignition.conf` file is directly configuring the service wrapper. You will probably find a lot of the options you want in the documentation for the service wrapper. Ignition specific service configuration is available here, although it's less management-of-the-process focused (since the wrapper handles most of that for us): [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Gateway+Configuration+File+Reference](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Gateway+Configuration+File+Reference) ---

The Ignition gateway implements two generic endpoints for monitoring that should be easy to pull into common web-monitoring frameworks: - `http://someGateway/StatusPing` as JSON - `http://someGateway/system/gwinfo` as semicolon-delimited key-value pairs. The former is super simple. The latter is more informative. Either could easily be incorporated in a large monitoring platform. ---

Very interesting information, let me check it, thanks.
