# SXP Service Watcher
|
|
|
|
This program allows to automatically restart the SXP service provided by GSD Software by **observing** the log directory of the SXP service.
|
|
If the SXP service is stuck, then log files of a specific type are being created that can be used as an indicator that the service is hanging.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
The configuration file **MUST** be within the same folder as the executable.
|
|
|
|
1. `period` is given as seconds and determines the interval in which the destination log folder is checked. Default: 30 seconds.
|
|
2. `watch_dir` and `dir` **MUST** be absolute
|
|
3. `service_name` is the name of the target service to be restarted
|
|
4. `watch_file_prefix` is the prefix of the log files that are created by the SXP service
|
|
5. `watch_file_size` is the size in kB of the created log files to be checked. Default: 0 kB
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
This program is written as a windows service that can be registered by using the script `register.ps1`.
|
|
|
|
**Steps**:
|
|
1. Move the built target executable along with the configuration file `config.toml` and `register.ps1` to your desired destination folder.
|
|
2. Start PowerShell as **Administrator**
|
|
3. Navigate to the folder of step 1.
|
|
4. Configure **config.toml**
|
|
5. Run `./register.ps1` within opened PowerShell of Step 1
|
|
|
|
## Error handling
|
|
A log file called `sv_file_watcher.log` is created in the same path as the executable. Use the content of this log file to communicate errors. |
