Health check (Ping Service) for Pega Cloud Solution - How to include other node types to the health check?
Dear Pega experts,
we'd like to incorporate the ping service (http://<<hostName:port/contextName>>/PRRestService/monitor/pingservice/ping) into our central monitoring system.
The documentation (https://support.pega.com/support-doc/pega-ping-service-faqs) is very specific about the ping endpoint providing the health status of web nodes (WebUser). But it is, at least to my interpretation, not specific at all when it comes to the health status of other node types (background, util, ...).
Questions: Does the ping service expose the health status of all nodes in the cluster OOTB? If not, is it possible to configure the ping service to expose the health status of specific node types?
We're running 8.6 as a managed Pega Cloud service.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,

Hello
From web node it check's underlying services if they are actively working or not and reports over all health.
So it works only for web node

@SriHarsha Anika , thank you for the feedback.
In a Pega cloud service, how do I expose the additional node types like "BackgroundProcessing", "Stream" and "Search"? Do you happen to know this? My response from the ping endpoint is as follows (only "WebUser"):
{
"node_type": [
"WebUser"
],
"health": [
{
"last_reported_time": "2022-07-27T15:32:32.297Z",
"test_name": "HTML-Stream-Check",
"status": "success"
},
{
"last_reported_time": "2022-07-27T15:32:32.297Z",
"test_name": "ServiceRegistry-Check",
"status": "success"
},
{
"last_reported_time": "2022-07-27T15:32:32.297Z",
"test_name": "DataFlowSlowComponentHealthCheck",
"status": "success"
}
],
"state": "healthy",
"node_id": "web-i-0337ef89f114134e0"
}

@SriHarsha Anika , hm....
This is what I see (I'm not Pega trained) via PDC (see screenshot). So, at least the "Stream" nodes should pop up according to my understanding.

@Nenad M. This is showing the details of node name's.
Look out for the jvm arg's which will have values in any one of these
BackgroundProcessing,Search, WebUser, Search

At the final, have you succeed to have the ping response with all the nodes scope (webuser and util nodes).
I try to have the same needs.
