    New Watchdog Process

    I noticed there is a new watchdog process running to notify a user about the status of Method server side processing that might be taking a bit more time.

    I can see it when one of my screen actions is generating a pdf report.

    This is a nice addition since occasionally these pdf reports can take some time to generate, up to 1 minute or so, and it's nice to know that nothing's wrong.  The watchdog message says that the process is "healthy".

    I would think this is a really nice feature for folks supporting several users.  They might not like to wait, but we have a way to tell them, nothing's really wrong, just be patient.

    I think this is a clever way to help manage performance expectations.

    Good job!

    Cheers,

    James

    You can find more information on our release notes for the May version - this addition was the Long process health-check and kicks in after 15 seconds.  There are some nice goodies (Gmail Gadget!) in this version.
