Monitoring Interface of the PLANTA Server

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, and monitoring_port parameters 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/monitoring URL.
A directory in JSON format is returned; for automatic analysis, the string must be decoded.
