How to detect Analytic engine is done initializing ?

Hello,

I have to detect the AE status.

I used to open a Http connection to the AE using the default usr/password and wait till it returns Http code 200. But I just noticed this wasnt enough ; the AE would take more time to get fully initialized. The message “AE initialized” would appear in info.log much time after Http server responds 200.

Is there a sure way to determine whether the AE is initialized or not ? If possible without parsing info.log ?

Thank you
