Get status of a microservice over API

[Pierre-Pascal.Proeller]

Hey there,

I am wondering if there is a way to get the status of a microservice over the API (e.g. active, unhealthy, etc).
As to my knowledge this is only possible in the UI.

Thank you for the help

Use Dev Tools to see the calls being made to get this information.

e.g.

…/inventory/managedObjects?pageSize=100&type=c8y_Application_45230&withTotalPages=true

…returns lots of info.

There’s also usually a health endpoint that can be called.

e.g.

…/service/hello-notification/health

This is what you get when querying the /health endpoint (assumed you are using microservice sdk):

{
	"status": "UP",
	"components": {
		"diskSpace": {
