The monitoring interface is marked as "deprecated" since version S 39.0.0 and should no longer be used. Instead, the Prometheus endpoint or the Health endpoint should be used in the future.
For information
-
The interface in the PLANTA Server used by the monitoring service can also be used directly.
-
This way, connections to other monitoring systems, like Nagios, can be enabled.
-
Functions implemented by the monitoring service, are then not available, e.g., database monitoring or caching for elaborate monitoring functions.
-
The server interface is activated and configured via the
monitoring,monitoring_interface, andmonitoring_portparameters in the globals.conf configuration file. -
Example: on the test1.example.com server, the parameters are set as follows:
-
monitoring=true: activates the server interface. -
monitoring_interface=0.0.0.0: enables access via all network interfaces. -
monitoring_port=27777: Port to which the interface listens.
-
-
On PLANTA Servers that have been configured accordingly, server information can now be queried via the
test1.example.com:27777/monitoringURL. -
A directory in JSON format is returned; for automatic analysis, the string must be decoded.
