Monitoring FMS and BetterForms Server

Jesse Roberts:
is there a way to ping fmserver using dapi to check that the box is up and responding?


Eduardo Aramizu:
Do you mean BF server or FMS in general?


Jesse Roberts:
both, actually


James Gill:
You can use a service like Alertra to ping the DAPI URL (https://{{yourServerHere}}/fmi/data/vLatest/databases) and check for a valid response. We use this in conjunction with checks to the CWP and WebD service endpoints to ensure our prod server is up and responding for all of it’s services. It’s pretty cheap, too. 1 check/minute is like $1.95 per month, so it’s well worth the added peace of mind.

Not sure how you’d do the same for FMBetterForms.
