Health Check APIs

WhiteSource App

The access to the app can be checked by issuing an HTTP GET request using a web browser or a utility (e.g., cURL, wget):
https://<your-base-url>/healthCheck (e.g., https://saas.whitesourcesoftware.com/healthCheck)

It is recommended to verify that the returned status is 200 (OK).
This is only a validation URL. Access must be open for all paths and endpoints under the app’s subdomain.

• If a proxy server is available, then the following proxy settings need to be obtained:

  • URL

  • Port number

  • Username and password (for authenticated access)

• A valid SSL certificate and KeyStore containing the certificate.

This section describes how to verify the health status of each deployed running container.

wss-<integration_type>-app Container

Request (GET): {wss-<integration_type>-app-container-url}:5678/payload/healthcheck
Response: If the app container is healthy, the response code will be 200.

wss-scanner Container

NOTE: This Health Check API is only supported from version 19.10.1.

Request (GET): {wss-scanner-container-url}:9393/health-check
Response: If the scanner container is healthy, the response code will be 200 and the response will contain the following JSON object:

{
   "scanner_version": "x.x.x"
}

wss-remediate Container

Request (GET): {wss-remediate-container-url}:8080
Response: If the remediate container is healthy, the response code will be 200 and the response will contain the following JSON object:

}

Accessing Scan Statistics via API

In order to keep track of the number of scan requests that are in the scan queue at any given time, the following API call can be used via the wss-<integration_type>-app container endpoint:

Request (GET):

{wss-<integration_type>-app-container-url}/payload/scanner/request

An optional state parameter can be provided as part of the request URL. It can contain one of the following values:

• queued

• pending (this is the default value when using this API call)

• scanning

• done

For example: {wss-<integration_type>-app-container-url}:5678/payload/scanner/request?state=scanning

Response:

{
  "extraData":null,
  "requestedScanState":"pending",
  "requestsCount":"6"
}
