Event processors can be monitored from external systems using Monitoring Sensors.
For each event processor created in STEP, a Monitoring Sensor is automatically created. Monitoring Sensors allow external systems to query the status of individual event processors via HTTP, without authentication. In the following sample URLs, substitute your own system URL and event processor ID to access your own event processor.
A Monitoring Sensor can return the following information:
- Simple traffic light response returns OK, WARNING, CRITICAL, or UNKNOWN for event processors via:
http://[System URL]/admin/monitoring/EventProcessorStatus-[event processor ID]/status
- Nagios friendly response returns detailed statistics in Nagios friendly format for event processors via:
http://[System URL]/admin/monitoring/EventProcessorStatus-[event processor ID]/nagios
- Full detailed XML response returns XML with detailed statistics for event processors via:
http://[System URL]/admin/monitoring/EventProcessorStatus-[event processor ID]/xml
