Running Server Reachability tests from Command Line

Issue/Introduction

How can I run server reachability tests, but from command line?

Resolution

Use a console cable or SSH into the appliance (if enabled)

Then issue the following command:

/opt/pathview/diagnostics/scripts/openssl_apm_servers

This command will run checks to your configured AppNeta server, on port 80 and repeat the attempt on port 8080.  This will also output the Server Certificate:

 

 

 

This should perform an openssl test to the configured AppNeta servers

/opt/pathview/diagnostics/scripts/openssl_capture_servers

The second command will run the checks on the configured capture server on port 443

Another useful way to perform these checks it to use the following:

/opt/pathview/diagnostics/scripts/openssl_apm_servers > /var/log/pathview/CertTest.txt && /opt/pathview/diagnostics/scripts/openssl_capture_servers >> /var/log/pathview/CertTest.txt

This will output the results of the server reachability checks into you text file in your monitoring point.  This file can be retrieved by downloading the log files from the monitoring point.
