Updated ping utility

Guidewire has updated the ping utility, an unauthenticated web page that you can ping to access information about a PolicyCenter server. 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, depending on various factors, including whether the server is a production server and whether the server start was successful.

Information returned	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, which represents the ‘(‘ character
Server run level name	Server run level; for example, MULTIUSER.
Server run level ordinal	QuickStart run level; for example, 5, which 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.
