Hi Varun,

do you have CommandCentral or Optimize for Infrastructure available in your license?

Additionally, you can try to check for the existence of the Java Processes in your system or the existence of a PID/anchor file in the profiles/IS_/bin directory of the instance.

There are more possibilities, but they will have to be checked with your operations team, which they prefer.

Regards,
Holger

@varunkmv , When you say

@varunkmv

If my Integration server is down

is your intention just to monitor the status of the Integration Server? If yes then the methods mentioned by Holger will work just fine. But if you need to trigger some actions while Integration Server is shutting down , then there are other ways like adding a shutdown service to your package , for example. It depends on what your usecase is.

Hello Varun,

I am not sure if this will resolve your issue, but you can try to create a service.

1. you can create a flow service(wrapper flow service) and then call wm.server.admin:getServerStatus inside that service. Also add pub.client:smtp service in the same wrapper service to send a mail (incase IS is down)
2. later you can create a scheduler which executes, lets say every 30 mins. You can call the wrapper service in the scheduler.

Thanks and Regards,
Ameya

Hi Ameya,

and how will you execute this service if IS is down or in the middle of shutting down?

I would recommend investing a third party system to monitor your applications.
You could use something like prometheus with alerting.
You could also Grafana to show fancy dashboards.

The nice thing is that Integration Server (if you have an MSR license) is already compatible with Prometheus, just configure it to collection health data from your server at

http://localhost:5555/health

and that’s it

Here’s a tech article describing how to do it.

Monitoring webMethods components with Prometheus and Grafana

This article is a quick introduction to monitoring Software AG product components as part of an environment containing third party components, using Prometheus and Grafana. It covers the Mirco Services Runtime (10.3 and later) as well as touches on Integration Server 9.9 (which should also work for earlier/ later versions). Applicable Versions: MSR 10.3 and later, IS 9.9 and later Overview Monitoring of components to ensure that they are available and functioning correctly is one of the requ…

If you don’t have a license you can always just ping the server via

http://localhost:5555/invoke/wm.server/ping

but, I would definitely invest in an MSR license going forward

John.

@John_Carter4

http://localhost:5555/health

Just a minor correction, http://localhost:5555/health returns data in JSON format with response as 200 if state of various resources hosted on the server is good - About the Health Gauge (softwareag.com), else response code of 503 is returned.

For getting data in the prometheus format, please use http://localhost:5555/metrics instead. Invoking the Metrics Endpoint (softwareag.com) provides more information on this.

oops, thanks for the correction @Kalpesh_Shah1
