Status URL for monitoring?

IT Support_td49we

Is there an API call or other URL I can visit to get a status from JIRA and Confluence? I'm working on setting up monitoing with Nagios / Icinga. I can do a generic "hit the main page and check for 200", type of thing, I'd rather get an authoritative value back from the service itself.

There isn't a formal status API that I'm aware of, but the AppLinks Manifest end-point is a good URL you can hit for most of our products (JIRA, Confluence, Stash, Bamboo, FishEye and Crucible). If it returns a 200, your server is probably in good shape.

It does not require authentication and is available at:

/rest/applinks/latest/manifest

in all products.

e.g.

https://jira.atlassian.com/rest/applinks/latest/manifest

https://confluence.atlassian.com/rest/applinks/latest/manifest

cheers,

In JIRA, you can hit the URL /status and it will return

{
   state: "RUNNING"
}

and eventually in 7.1, it will also return "MAINTENANCE" if you are doing something like performing a foreground index. https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-46458

This is a nice way too since it does not require authentication and also does not create a session on the JIRA server unnecessarily.

Confluence also has a /status page that returns the same result.

Not really, but getting a 200 response from the site main page should be pretty authoritative, no?

Thanks, I think this will work.

i tried above manifest, it is showing lot of other info, but not status.

how to get status of Bamboo and Crowd, like we get for JIRA and confluence - <url>/status ? if it is not there, can you please add a enhancement request or let us know any workaround for this.

we need this, we use to show status of all our Atlassian apps.

Thanks for your help.

Is there documentation on all possible responses from this endpoint?

So far we've observed:

STARTING
ERROR
RUNNING
MAINTENANCE

Mainly we're curious what to do when it's ERROR (generally this is on startup and seems to not necessarily recur on a restart).

For JIRA, doesn't appear there is much besides https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/jira-data-center-load-balancer-examples-781200827.html.

For Confluence, someone submitted https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-41395 which ended up getting the Load Balancing section of https://confluence.atlassian.com/enterprise/confluence-data-center-technical-overview-612959401.html updated. I would assume the JIRA statuses are similar, if not identical.

I submitted a similar story just now (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-63928) to possible bolster the documentation for JIRA's statuses. But here are the ones from Confluence, and I am guessing they are similar.

HTTP Status Code	Response entity	Description
200	{"state":"RUNNING"}	Running normally
500	{"state":"ERROR"}	An error state
503	{"state":"STARTING"}	Application is starting
503	{"state":"STOPPING"}	Application is stopping
200	{"state":"FIRST_RUN"}	Application is running for the first time and has not yet been configured
404		Application failed to start up in an unexpected way (the web application failed to deploy)

A 200 from a page that makes a DB call and/or runs a basic health check would suffice...but any successfully loading page? I wouldn't call that a proper status check.
