How to monitor vRA 8.1 via the api

Hello All,

It’s way too long that a posted a new article. Sorry for that but family comes first. The good news is that I am starting again 😉

This week I discovered 2 interesting api calls for checking the health of a vRA 8.1. deployment with the “:8008/health endpoint”. I thought, this is worth for sharing. So here they come  😎

The first api call is to validate the health of a vRA 8.1 node:

I my example, I am using Postman to explore the api call.

GET http://pb0vra8va01.flexlab.local:8008/api/v1/services/local

 

The second api call is to validate the health of a vRA 8.1 cluster:

GET http://pb0vra8va01.flexlab.local:8008/api/v1/services/cluster

For a detailed overview of what kind of services are validated see the below example.

Very cool right! I hope you liked it..
