How to get availability status of middleware services which is running on ibm cloud?


IBM internally monitor services which is offered on cloud but somehow I need to get status of middleware services such as kafka,API Connect etc. It will help me to automate things if some service stopped/not accessable.


Solution

  • To monitor your provisioned instances of these services you could exercise them. For example on API Connect create an API called /health and curl the API to verify it is working. For kafka create a topic to check the health.
