Flex Monitor Server Requests

I have the System below

one server 20 clients (could increase)

the clients display a webpage that has the flex swf file. it will display a list. it will poll server every 1sec for any changes in the data. if there's any, it will refresh the data.

the polling is handled using a url that returns json object.

Now i want to have an webapplication that i can use to see the current status of all the monitors on the network

any smart solution?

You could potentially have all the monitor apps connect to a NetConnectionGroup along with your status check app. They could then post pings and health checks into the group, and if your status check app is also connected it could report those statuses (this of course doesn't help if one of the monitors has crashed or not connected, but you'll have that problem with any solution!)

after some research i found this url http://www.adobe.com/devnet-archive/flex/tourdeflex/web/#sampleId=13920;docIndex=1;illustIndex=0 but having a hard time understanding this. esp this url <mx:AMFChannel url="http://tourdeflex.adobe.com:8080/lcds-samples/messagebroker/amfpolling"/> what is in there?

That particular line of code sets up the location that can be used by services (RemoteObject or HTTPService for example). I'd be careful about looking at anything to do with LCDS, it's *extremely* expensive!

On the group stuff, I'm talking about http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cirrus/

Cirrus on Adobe Labs is an Adobe-hosted service. we need something that we can put it on our server as this network will not be connected to internet

waht do you think about weborb

There's a version that just does FP to FP without a server if you are all on the same LAN

Gregor Kiddie 2010-10-27 16:14:33

wow. lemme try that. thank Gregor.

Vivek Chandraprakash 2010-10-27 20:33:29

fp to fp is it something like this http://www.flashrealtime.com/tuts/p2p-in-flash.html

Vivek Chandraprakash 2010-10-27 20:50:15

P2P nodes can communicate with one another without using Stratus. Accomplishing this requires the nodes to be on a Local Area Network, since connecting in this manner requires LAN discovery." from here... http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/p2p_rtmfp_groups.html
