Abstract
Failure monitoring and detection phase is acritical part in providing a scalability, reliability and highavailability in current distributed environment. Heartbeatstyle of interaction is a widely used technique. Thistechnique is utilized for detecting a fault where it monitorsthe heartbeats of system resources continuously in a veryshort interval. However, this approach has its limitations asit requires a period of time to detect the faulty node, causingdelay in the impending recovery procedures. This paperpresents a fault detection mechanism and service usinghybrid heartbeat mechanism and dynamic estimated time ofarrival (ETA) for each heartbeat message. This techniqueintroduces the use of index server for indexing thetransaction and operates dynamic hybrid heartbeatmechanism and pinging procedure for fault detection. Theevaluation outcome signifies the use of the hybrid heartbeatmechanism in reducing approximately 30% of the timetaken to detect faults compared to existing techniques andprovides a basis for a customizable recovery action to takeplace.
