  • WARNING [1] - All disks are functioning properly, however, there is a possibility of data loss, if the values increase further above the threshold.

  • DEGRADED [2] - There is no operation in progress due to disk failure. Data is preserved, but it is not at full redundancy.

  • DEGRADED_SYNCING [3] - Resync/rebuild is in progress due to disk failure. Data is preserved, but it is not at full redundancy.

  • CRITICAL [4] - Data loss occurred.

number

The progress of the RAID operation in percentages. Typically used if the disk is in a REBUILDING state.

The default value is 0.

 

 

health_status.raid.disks

JSON object

 

 

 

health_status.raid.disks

<disk_id>

JSON object

 

 

 

health_status.raid.disks

<disk_id>.status

string

Possible values:

  • SPARE - The Dedicated Hot Spare (DHS) disk that is on standby to take over, if a disk fails.

  • REBUILDING - Either a new disk has been inserted, or the DHS disk had to take over for a failed disk, and is now building.

  • FAULTY - The failed disk that must be replaced with a new one.

The number of CPUs determine the load a system can handle without causing the processes having to wait. As a generic rule of thumb, if the load is less than the number of processor cores of the appliance, the overall system load can be considered normal, otherwise it might be an indication of performance issues.

Monitor SPS availability from load balancers

The health status API (Health and maintenance) is suitable for providing various metrics from the appliance. However, when an SPS cluster is deployed behind load balancers, a simplified health probe API is desirable. The proxy-status API allows querying an overall appliance status even for unauthenticated users.

This API can report a degraded state, which might prevent successful session establishment, even when the appliance is otherwise reachable, such as:

  • The disk fill-up prevention mechanism is active

  • Some traffic is administratively disabled

  • Internal queues are full, etc.

NOTE: The exact set of conditions used for determining the normal state can vary between releases.

URL

Response

The following is a sample response received.

{ 
   "status": "ok"  
} 

Elements of the response message include:

Elements

 Type Description

status

enum

Possible values:

  • ok

    The appliance is in "normal" state. The returned HTTP status code is 200 OK.

  • not ok

    The appliance is in "degraded" state. The returned HTTP status code is 500 Internal Server Error.
