HCP System Management Help


Checking the status of your nodes

You can check the status of particular nodes using the node status API command. This can only be done on a system using a load balancer. Load balancer hardware installation is not supported by HCP.

The HCP node status check returns a forbidden message if the system administrator has not enabled node status through the System Management Console. For more information on enabling node status, see Setting network security.

The HCP node status check also returns a forbidden message if the system administrator has not added the load balancer IP address to the Security Console Allow list. For more information on adding the load balancer IP address to the all list, see Controlling access to the System Management Console.

In order to check the status of your nodes:

1.Open your API tool.

2.Enter the command http://<Node-Front-End-IPAddress>/node_status.

The following table shows all possible response codes. No response header is generated.

Code HTTP status Description
204 OK Node is configured to return node status
403 Forbidden Node is not configured to return node status
540   System is in Read Only mode
541   Node is not available
