Monitoring SOAPam Server

Many networking monitoring facilities use HTTP access to monitor the health of network resources. By accessing a specific web page URL of the monitored resource, the monitor can determine if the resource is healthy. SOAPam Server provides a specific URL for such monitoring. The url is:

http://host-name:port/server-status

Accessing this URL will return the string "\NODE.$PROCESS is alive." with HTTP status code 200. This URL is not subject to access control or authentication and does not consume any TMF or disk resources.

The following command illustrates how to use this URL with the Nagios check_http command:

$ check_http -H hostname -p 9090 -u /server-status
HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 184 bytes in 0.172 seconds |time=0.172198s;;;0.000000 size=184B;;;0
