The Status API

Siren Investigate exposes an API to monitor the application status. The API is available via the HTTP GET method at /api/status?pretty=true

The response status code will indicate the health of the application.

  • 200 - application is working as expected

  • 503 - there is a problem with the application that requires an administrator intervention

The response payload is a JSON containing details about application components.
