Using the PolicyCenter
ping utility
Guidewire provides an unauthenticated web page that you can ping to access information
about a PolicyCenter server. This is the second version of
the ping utility, hence, v=2 in the URL.
To access this web page, use the following URL:
http://server:port/pc/ping?v=2
The ping utility returns the following types of information on the return HTML page, depending on various factors, including whether the server is a production server and whether the server start was successful.
| Information type | Result description |
|---|---|
| Planned shutdown status | Shutdown status (for example, planned, ready) if the server is involved in a planned shutdown. |
| Server run level code | ASCII decimal code. For example, 45, represents the ‘(‘ character. |
| Server run level name | Server run level, for example,
MULTIUSER. |
| Server run level ordinal | QuickStart (Jetty) run level. For example, 5, corresponds to the
MULTIUSER run level. |
| Server ID | Name of the server host. |
| Server up time | Time, in seconds, for which the server has been operational. |
| Server start up exception | Exception that caused the server to fail start up, if applicable. By default, the ping utility does not display this information on a production server. |
| Thread stack trace | Stack trace of the thread performing the transition from one server run level to another. By default, the ping utility does not display this information on a production server. |
