Hi,
Just wondering what is the minimal operation required, using the REST API (v3), to test if an FME Server instance is available to process jobs?
For example, how much is a successful response to a “GET info” request telling me? Is it just that the FME Server web services are running (ie. Tomcat) or does it mean that FME Server can accept requests?
Does a “GET repositories” request tell me anything more?
The reason that I’m asking is that I will be using a 3rd party application to monitor FME Server and let me know if it becomes unavailable. I could write a very minimal FME workspace to be called via a submit job request – which would obviously tell me what I need to know – but would prefer not to tie up an engine with spurious job requests. In order to be useful I will need to be polling FME Server on a frequent basis.
Thanks,
Nic
