IDOL Server 24.1

# GetStatus Action

The GetStatus action returns information about the status of IDOL Server and its components, as well as the configuration and content of the server.

    http://IDOLhost:port/action=GetStatus

where:

`IDOLhost` | is the IP address or name of the machine on which IDOL Server is installed.
`port` | is the ACI port by which you send actions to IDOL Server (set by the Port parameter in the `[Server]` section of the IDOL Server configuration file).

The GetStatus action is a diagnostic tool that you can use to check information about your server.

You can use the output from GetStatus to:

- view some of the IDOL Server configuration options without opening the configuration file.

- check that all IDOL Server components are running.

- monitor the number of documents in IDOL Server and see how close the server is to the configured document limit.

- monitor how many index actions IDOL Server has processed, and check the size of the index queue, for example to:

  - determine whether the server processes incoming index actions as fast as it receives them.

  - determine how many items the server has left to process, before performing maintenance or backups.

- check the results of the latest index validation.

- check language configuration and determine how many documents in the server use each configured language type.

- check document security configuration and determine how many documents in the server belong to each configured security type.

- check user security configuration.

TIP: You can also view status information by using the IDOL Admin interface. For more information, refer to the IDOL Admin User Guide.

NOTE: OpenText recommends that you contact OpenText Support before taking actions based on the information in the GetStatus action.
