16.4 Using the PFM service automatic restart functionality to restart PFM services

This section describes the PFM service automatic restart functionality, which is used to automatically restart PFM services that have stopped abnormally.

Performance Management provides the PFM service automatic restart functionality, which you can use you to automatically restart a PFM service in the unlikely event that it stops abnormally for some reason. The PFM service automatic restart functionality has the following two functionalities:

Automatic restart functionality

If a PFM service stops abnormally for some reason, the PFM service automatic restart functionality restarts the PFM service so that it continues monitoring. If you are not using a cluster system, which provides high system availability, we recommend that you consider using this functionality.

Scheduled restart functionality

The scheduled restart functionality allows you to schedule the restart of a PFM service so that it continues monitoring even if there is a problem with the OS or the service itself (such as a memory or handle leak) that prevents the service from running for an extended period of time. This functionality is typically not used.
