Monitoring PageSeeder

Unless prevented by firewall or other network security, the dbmonitor URL is publicly accessible on any PageSeeder server. Receiving the standard response doesn’t mean the system is free from problems, but not getting it guarantees problems exist. This is a health check to determine whether the most basic aspect of the system is functioning.

The content of the dbmonitor response is as follows:

Connected to database and accessed admin group OK.

Getting this response signals that PageSeeder’s key infrastructure components (servlet container, web server and database) are alive and communicating.

To access the dbmonitor on PageSeeder version 6 and higher:

http://[server]/ps/api/dbmonitor

Before version 6:

http://[server]/ps/servlet/com.pageseeder.DBMonitor

e.g. https://eval.pageseeder.com/ps/servlet/com.pageseeder.DBMonitor
