GetStatus Action

The GetStatus action returns information about the status of your Knowledge Discovery components, as well as the configuration and content of the server.

http://componentHost:port/action=GetStatus

where:

componentHost is the IP address or name of the machine on which the component is installed. For a unified configuration, this is the Proxy component.
port is the ACI port by which you send actions to the component (set by the Port parameter in the [Server] section of the configuration file).

The GetStatus action is a diagnostic tool that you can use to check information about your server.

You can use the output from GetStatus to:

  • view some configuration options without opening the configuration file.

  • (unified configuration) check that all components are running.

  • monitor the number of documents in the Content component and see how close the server is to the configured document limit.

  • monitor how many index actions the Content component has processed, and check the size of the index queue, for example to:

    • determine whether the server processes incoming index actions as fast as it receives them.

    • determine how many items the server has left to process, before performing maintenance or backups.

  • check the results of the latest index validation.

  • check language configuration and determine how many documents in the server use each configured language type.

  • check document security configuration and determine how many documents in the server belong to each configured security type.

  • check user security configuration.

TIP: You can also view status information by using the Knowledge Discovery Admin interface. For more information, refer to the Knowledge Discovery Admin User Guide.

NOTE: OpenText recommends that you contact OpenText Support before taking actions based on the information in the GetStatus action.
