Oracle Analytics and AI

Hello,

We are trying to use an external load balancer hardware (F5 Big IP) and would like to create a health check/monitor configuration rule for the Analytics piece (in case 1 server is down, requests need to be routed to the 2nd). We are looking for the best URI to use for that purpose. Please help provide the best rule (GET/POST) in your experience so far.

OBIEE 11.1.1.9.5

WLS 10.3.6

RHEL 6.x

Hi,

It's a bit more complicated than just check a URL if you really want to check OBIEE.

Sure you can load a page like /analytics, but this doesn't mean that the login work for example.

So you can simulate a login (posting the form etc. or using nqUser and nqPassword in the url).

But here again it just means the login work and not that analysis will work.

So you can then load an analysis and check if you get the result of a query inside. That would probably be the best simple test.

So you can start with a simple check which will fail only when the managed server or the presentation server service is down, or you can try to make a bit more complex scenario which will go through few more pieces (like the bi server etc.).
