US Patent 11570246 Layer 7 health check automated execution framework

A method, computer readable medium, and computer network are provided for performing a synchronization operation. The method may comprise retrieving a list of network addresses of all standby servers in a standby server pool. The method may further include, using the list of network addresses, sending a health check query to each standby server in the standby server pool, and receiving response messages from the standby servers in the standby server pool. A positive response may indicate that the standby server is active in the standby server pool, and a negative response may indicate that the standby server is inactive in the standby server pool. The method may include, when any standby server returns the positive response, sending a message to an administrator. The method may further include, when every standby server returns the negative response, initiating a synchronization operation on a standby database connected to the standby servers.
