Health Status of VSE

[SKavitha]

Hi,

Any API to know the status of VSE server? 
APIs are available to know the status of Virtual Services. But I need to know the status of VSE server.

Also , API - <<Server:port>>/api/Dcm/ gives me the count of VSE (right now it gives as 1 for me). Is it that when VSE is down the count will be 0? Based on the count can I come to the conclusion that VSE is up and running?

Pls clarify.

http://localhost:1505/api/Dcm/virtual_service_environments

Response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><Vses><Vse xmlns="http://www.ca.com/lisa/invoke/v2.0" name="VSE" href="http://localhost:1505/api/Dcm/virtual_service_environments/VSE" type="application/vnd.ca.lisaInvoke.vse+xml"><ConsoleURL>http://NATSA03-7520:1505</ConsoleURL><HostAddress>NATSA03-7520</HostAddress><LifetimeTransactionCount>37</LifetimeTransactionCount><RollingTransactionCount>37</RollingTransactionCount></Vse></Vses>

This api should give you the list of VSEs and status. Please try and let me know if it works for you.

The API http://localhost:1505/api/Dcm/virtual_service_environments gives me the list of virtual services and its status.
I need to know whether the VSE server itself is up and running?

[Sankar Natarajan]

No, this API gives list of Virtual Service Environments. (VSE Service/server). Each VSE server in turn hosts a number of Virtual Services. 

The api to get the details about all Virtual Services is: http://localhost:1505/api/Dcm/VSEs

Thanks Sankar. So my understanding is we can get the status of virtual service running in a server through the above api.
The status of server alone cannot be identified using specific API? Correct me if I am wrong.

One more to add - When a virtual service is down - how will I know whether it is down because of some issue in that virtual service or it is down because of server itself is down. I am looking for API for this only.

Hi,

If you still got questions about this, then you might have missed some of Sankar's answers on this thread? I think he provided everything you need.

In addition, regarding your original question "Also , API - <<Server:port>>/api/Dcm/ gives me the count of VSE (right now it gives as 1 for me). Is it that when VSE is down the count will be 0? Based on the count can I come to the conclusion that VSE is up and running?" ANSWER = Yes, (if you have only one VSE running)

From Sankar's response: http://localhost:1505/api/Dcm/virtual_service_environments  gives information about each VSE (NOT about its virtual services inside)

Hope this clarifies?
