Testing for a running server


Chris Cawthorne (962819) | asked Jun 03 '09, 9:24 a.m.
I need to find some way to reliably check whether a Jazz server is running (ie whether it will actually respond to requests from users). In order to do this I think I need to check that the web server will respond and that the database is active and responding to requests. However I don't want to have to authenticate via our ldap server in order to do this. Is there a tool for doing this (repotools.sh won't do it), or is there some set of API calls that I could make that would achieve this?

I don't think you will be able to check the health of your server
without authenticating with LDAP. Especially if you are configuring
your server to use LDAP, making sure that you can log in is a very
important part of testing the server.
