Load balancer health check (Server Status)

Products

• Clarity PPM On Premise
• Clarity PPM SaaS
• STARTER PACK-CLARITY PPM

Issue/Introduction

We used niku/wsdl to connect with our Load balancer and check the server status. Since 15.8.1 this no longer works. What is the recommended URL to use with Load balancer to perform a health server status check? 

Environment

Release : 15.x

Component : CA PPM INTEGRATIONS & INSTALLATIONS

Resolution

We have added multiple changes for securability purposes to Clarity.

To perform a health server status check we have a special URL you can use. To enable it please do the following:

1. In Properties.xml on all the servers in cluster set the following:

<accessToServerStatus allow="StatusResource"/>

2. Save and restart the services
3. Point the load balancer to monitor this URL (serverstatus)

/niku/serverstatus/status?run=MEMORY_STATS

 

Note: the URL http(s)://<servername>:<port>/niku/serverstatus/status?run=MEMORY_STATS is accessible normally in browser and will trigger an HTTP 200 response.
