[mapguide-internals] RE: Server status/Ping API

[Trevor Wekel]

Hi Bruce,

Would information similar to "uptime" from Linux be appropriate?

03:38:49 up 2 days, 17:29,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.10

This would roughly translate to system time, MapGuide Server uptime, offline/online, and current user load.

We could also include server process memory utilization but that would take longer to generate.


Thanks,
Trevor

Subject: [mapguide-internals] Server status/Ping API

Hi All,

The existing Server Admin service has the following APIs that are not officially published but are available to use:

GetSiteVersion() - returns the exact MapGuide server version
GetSiteInfo() - returns MapGuide server information and OS information

Both of these require authentication credentials because of the information returned.

I was wondering about adding a new API that would not require authentication credentials.

Example: GetSiteStatus()

I would like it to return the server status as either "Offline" or "Online" as some of the information.

This API could be used as a sort of "ping" if needed.

What other non sensitive information do you think we could include with this API?

Thanks,
Bruce
