Check PrizmDoc Server Health

Introduction

While a PrizmDoc Server does its best to keep itself up and running, it is possible for a PrizmDoc Server to become unhealthy, in which case you must restart PrizmDoc Viewer (typically by rebooting the server).

To check whether or not a server is healthy, you can either:

PrizmDoc Viewer Services Status Page

To view the PrizmDoc Viewer Services Status page, browse to one of the following locations on each server where you installed the PrizmDoc Server:

  • For single-server mode - http://server:18681/admin
  • When clustering is enabled - http://server:18682/admin

It may take several minutes for PrizmDoc Server to become completely healthy. The page will auto-refresh as PrizmDoc Server comes online.

Note that 'PCC' means the 'PrizmDoc Viewer' services in the example above.

Use the Health API

To check whether or not a server is healthy, simply send an HTTP request GET /PCCIS/V1/Service/Current/Health. If the server is healthy, HTTP 200 will be returned; if unhealthy, HTTP 500 will be returned. Note that if PrizmDoc Viewer has just started, HTTP 500 may be returned for a short time until the system has completely started up.

Cluster Mode: Use the CEP

If you are running in cluster mode, send your request to the Cloud Entry Point (CEP), typically running on port 18681:

GET server:18681/PCCIS/V1/Service/Current/Health

Single-Server Mode: Use the SEP

If you are running in single-server mode, send your request to the Server Entry Point (SEP), typically running on port 18681:

GET server:18681/PCCIS/V1/Service/Current/Health

HTTP Response

  • HTTP 200 - Server is healthy and running normally.
  • HTTP 500 - Server is unhealthy and must be restarted (or PrizmDoc Viewer is still starting up).
