How deeply can things be monitored/checked?
The short answer here is, “as deep as you need”. Of course, this is a bit misleading since it relies on the tests that you developed and plugged in as commands (usually as part of workflows). Normally, the kinds of tests that you would use or develop include checking if the application services are running (e.g., by checking the process table, accessing a network port, submitting a transaction, etc.). A best practice that should be followed is to provide a “Status” command for any module that controls a service. Then a top-level module used for centralized logical management can recursively call the Status command effectively checking each object down the hierarchy.
