Summary: | Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for detecting a failed server. The computer-implemented method includes creating a proxy file for each server of a plurality of servers in an active state and assigning a timestamp to each proxy file of each server of the plurality of servers. The computer-implemented method further includes permitting each server to inspect each timestamp of each proxy file of each server of the plurality of servers and determining whether the timestamp assigned to each proxy file of each server of the plurality of servers exceeds a predetermined threshold. The computer-implemented method further includes, in response to a timestamp of a proxy file of a failed server exceeding the predetermined threshold, allowing another server of the plurality of servers to complete remaining work of the failed server. |
