How to monitor HTTP endpoints

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000

The HTTP protocol has become the de facto standard application layer protocol of the internet. From publicly available web sites and APIs to “inter-process” communications in REST based microservice architectures or large Service Oriented Architectures based on SOAP, you find HTTP being used again and again, due to its simplicity and our familiarity with it. How many protocols can you name that have memes for their status codes? Of course, such a popular protocol has endless pages written about how to properly monitor the services that rely on it, with many options specific to every use case. What you will learn here is how to get your basics done in monitoring HTTP endpoints, so you can be up and running in a few minutes, monitoring all HTTP services in your entire infrastructure.

How to monitor host reachability

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Most sysadmins and developers have at some point used a few of the popular Linux networking commands or their Windows equivalents to answer the common questions of host reachability - that is, whether a host or service is reachable and how fast it responds.

Common approaches to reachability

One of the simplest, common checks, is to simply ping a host to verify that it’s reachable from where you issue the command, and to see the total time it takes for the host to receive your request.

SQL Server instance down: no response on port 1433 and where to look first

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Your availability probe just fired: TCP connect plus SELECT 1 against port 1433 has failed three or more times over at least 60 seconds. Before you restart anything, separate the two failure modes that get lumped together as “SQL Server is down”. They have different causes, different fixes, and different blast radii.

Mode one: no TCP connect at all. The listener is not accepting connections on 1433 (or the named instance’s dynamic port). The service is stopped, the host is down, the network path is broken, or the listener is misconfigured, commonly after an AlwaysOn failover. The engine is not there to talk to.

TCP endpoints Monitoring

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

What is TCP endpoint?

A TCP endpoint is a combination of an IP address and a port number that identifies a specific process or service running on a computer or other network device. It is used to establish and manage an end-to-end connection between two applications, typically over the Internet. The TCP protocol provides a reliable, ordered delivery of data between the two endpoints.

Monitoring TCP endpoint with Netdata

The prerequisites for monitoring TCP endpoint is to have Netdata installed on your system.
