is service available on host of OBIEE cluster?

Alex Sharkov

Hi all

We have 2 node OBIEE cluster. And we have roundrobin balancer

One day we notice that:

1. all services on node's up and running. I get status.sh and see all service RUNNING

2. I get report from user's that they cannot login into OBIEE

3. I have direct link to every node by http..so i go directly to Node1 & Node2  and notice - I can NOT get logon page to one node. NO HTTP connect!

4. I restart problem node  and now it's OK

Balancer fellow's ask me:

"Can you give us url which balancer can use for solution: is service up or not?"

Indeed.. which url i can use for monitor by HTTP OBIEE ? Is url can give me information about service healthy?

Seems to be I cannot use any url which return any static content.

Hey Alex,

have you checked Robin's scripts?

Hi Christian!

It's very usefull link, thanks!

But we have to monitor  time to time (about 1 minute .. for example ) OBIEE nodes from balancer-node by http(s)

And we solved this problem for a while:

- Balancer node ask Node1 about http://my_node1:1111/analytics/saw.dll?BIEEHome&startPage=1

If get 200 - node is alive

If not - balancer make decision DON'T direct HTTP(s) flow to Node1 and move to healthy node (Node2?)

- Balancer node ask Node2 about http://my_node2:1111/analytics/saw.dll?BIEEHome&startPage=1

If get 200 - node is alive

If not - balancer make decision DON'T direct HTTP(s) flow to node Node2 and move to healthy node (Node1?)

Our balancer is good enough to make decision

I think  there is some more special  url for diagnose problem on each node.

Have you looked through the script? As of line 326 the check_analytics() does precisely that:

For HTTPS it's a couple of lines below and it depends on which port it is running on.

Is there still an open point to this question or is it answered?
