5.1 Internal Monitoring

The Corente Virtual Services Gateway Software in the CVSG-VE Location monitors each virtual machine (VM) through the startup, running, and shutdown states. Each VM is monitored by verifying its status with the VM system, as well as by ping to the VM’s IP address. Recovery is performed automatically by restarting the VM. If the VM fails to respond to ping within 10 minutes of being launched, or fails to respond to ping for 10 minutes after it has been running, it is presumed dead and is restarted.

Furthermore, as is the case for ordinary Corente Virtual Services Gateways, the CVSG-VE Location is monitored by itself and remotely by the SCP.
