  • Patent number: 9367379
    Abstract: A server. The server comprises a processor, a memory, and an application that receives an alert message corresponding to an error and a performance metric value in a messaging server, wherein the messaging server is one of a plurality of servers in a rotation that supports a front-end application in a system, identifies a course of action for repair, determines that the number of active servers in the rotation is above a predefined threshold number of active servers, removes the messaging server from the rotation, notifies a system administrator of the removal, the identified error, and the performance metric value, repairs the messaging server by implementing the identified course of action, validates the messaging server by running application programming interface (API) calls, places the repaired messaging server in the rotation, and notifies the system administrator of repair details and API call results.
