Administrative Console

You can access status information in the console, in the Status tab.

For information about how to access the console, see PingDataGovernance Administrative Console.

status command

The PingDataGovernance distribution includes the bin/status command that you can use to see various information about the server, including its status and the status of its LDAP external servers.

Availability servlet

PingDataGovernance provides an HTTP servlet extension that you can use to retrieve the server's current availability state. The servlet accepts any GET, POST, or HEAD request sent to a specified endpoint and returns a minimal response whose HTTP status code can help you determine whether the server considers itself to be AVAILABLE, DEGRADED, or UNAVAILABLE.

The status code for each of these states is configurable, and the response can optionally include a JSON object with an availability-state field with the name of the current state.

The servlet has these endpoints:

  • /available-state

    This endpoint can prove useful for load balancers that should only route requests to servers that are fully available.

    The following table shows the responses for this endpoint.
    Response Server state
    200 (OK) AVAILABLE
    503 (Service Unavailable) DEGRADED or UNAVAILABLE

  • /available-or-degraded-state

    This endpoint can prove useful for orchestration frameworks if you want to destroy and replace any instance that is completely unavailable.

    The following table shows the responses for this endpoint.
    Response Server state
    200 (OK) AVAILABLE or DEGRADED
    503 (Service Unavailable) UNAVAILABLE
