Checking the status of your nodes

You can use the node status command to check the status of a target node in your HCP system. Any user can perform the node status command. System-level users with the administrator role can enable and disable the node status API. For more information about enabling this service, see Setting network security.

The request to check the status of a node requires a URL specifying the front-end IP address of the target node. You enter the command in the following format:

http://node-front-end-ip-address/node_status

You can also request node metrics to be returned with the node HTTP status return code. To request node metrics, you additionally need to:

Specify a type URL query parameter with a value of metrics.

Specify the format URL query parameter with a value of xml or json.

If you omit the format parameter, you are only returned a response status code.
