dhis2 - "System Monitoring URL"

Hello all,

Can anyone explain to me what the “System Monitoring URL” is, and what exactly it does?

Only the User Guide mentions it, and then only to suggest that it has something to do with “making a call to a URL”, which is somewhat vague/confusing.

Kind Regards,

Jason Phillips

Hi Jason,

the system monitoring URL is currently part of an experimental feature and is subject to change. When enabled, the system will ping that endpoint regularly with information about the system instance (version, build, etc). This allows you to build a central monitoring system which can monitor the status of a fleet of DHIS 2 instances.

regards,

Lars

Hi Lars,

This will be a very useful feature for maintaining large number of DHIS2 instances.

Hopefully we have basic info such as number of users, date of last login, last analytics run, and other server details from /dhis-web-commons-about/about.action

Any endpoint we can test with yet?

Thanks

Ime
