Perform Infrastructure Health Checks in Dynatrace Managed

[pshinde]

Summary: This post describes which areas to review for an infrastructure health check in Dynatrace Managed, including cluster status, disk space, performance metrics, and log files.

Hi Team,

Do you have any scripts, commands, or options that will help us know the Dynatrace Managed health status on a daily basis? We would like to have the status of the following items on a daily basis in the report.

1) Cassandra & Elastic Backup

2) All ActiveGates are up and running fine

3) All Dynatrace node critical processes are up and running fine.

4) Node storage utilization.

5) Access to the console is fine.

[Radoslaw_Szulgo · Accepted solution]

1) Cassandra:

\launcher\dynatrace-notetool.sh status

Elasticsearch:

curl <ip_address>:9200/_cluster/health

2) ActiveGate

curl https://<ip_address>:8443/rest/state > -k -i

3) All node services

\launcher\dynatrace.sh status

4) Storage

do it on your own currently - with `du` command

Public REST API to be exposed in the future.

5) Access to console

to check server:

curl

https://<ip_address>:8021/rest/health -k -i

If server is RUNNING then console should work as well. In case you want to be sure you could maybe create a Selenium test or curl/wget ?

Hi @Radoslaw S.,

A question about 5)

Is there an overview of the different responses /rest/health can give? Can this check be used to see that a node is about to restart?
