Introduction
This article describes how the CoreOne services can be monitored.
Usage
This information can be used for normal system monitoring as well as for load balancing and high availability functions. This should help our customers who would like monitor by theirself the application. Please do not forget to duplicate the monitoring system on all nodes if the application is deployed in a high availability deployment scenario. This System monitoring recommendations is not including a rudimentary server monitoring like CPU, RAM or disk usage. This is of course also recommended.
Components you should monitor
Windows Services
We recommend to monitor the state of the following Windows Services:
World Wide Web Publishsing Service (IIS)
CoreOne Suite
CoreOne Suite System Connector
MySQL
App Pools and Sites
Please monitor the state of all App Pools and Sites starting with CoreOne*
Health Check functions
The following functions can be called like normal HTTP GET call:
Service | URL | Answer OK | Answer ERROR | What is being tested? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CoreOne Authentication Services | https://${authenticationUrl}/health | HTTP 200 | HTTP 500 HTTP 404 |
| |
CoreOne Authentication Services | https://${authenticationUrl}/health/details | HTTP 200 | HTTP 200 HTTP 404 HTTP 500 |
| Gives a 200 answer with a detailed list of which subsystems work and which do not. The 200 also appears when subsystems are not available. The content is intended for graphical assessment by system administrators. The 404 and 500 message appears if, for example, .NET Core hosting is missing on the system. |
CoreOne Web Service | https://${webUrl}/health | HTTP 200 | HTTP 500 HTTP 404 |
| |
CoreOne Web Service | https://${webUrl}/health/details | HTTP 200 | HTTP 200 HTTP 404 HTTP 500 |

CoreOne Application Services API | https://${applicationUrl}:8000/api/Health | HTTP 200 | HTTP 500 HTTP 404 |

If you have a Galera Cluster in place, you should also monitor the health of the cluster and each node.
Appendix
Some monitoring systems are not able to check all these components directly. You can use workarounds like Powershell and Windows Task Scheduler to create a monitoring-text-file. Then you can check this text file content (please do not forget to check the age of the text-file with the monitoring - this way you make sure, the values are up to date). If you need assistance with that, we are happy to help you.
Please also make sure to keep a documentation of what to do, if the monitoring check state is not in a accepted condition.
Detailed monitoring
The health checks listed above only provide information about whether the relevant Services are available, started and operational. The checks do not provide any information about internal processes, pending processes or the like.
This detailed information can also be monitored using managed services. Please get in touch with your contact person.
