Know if a Vault is online

Greetings, i would link to know if there is an API to know if a Vault server is online. I've have both Vault 2013/2015 SDK.

Actually i use: My.Computer.Network.Ping() but i think is not accurate.

Ping will only tell you if the host is on the network and allowed to respond to ICMP requests.  It has nothing to do with Vault.

 

You could use try sending an http request to http://SERVERNAME/AutodeskDM/Services/InformationService.svc to see if IIS is running and Vault is installed, but that won't tell you if it is fully operational (the database is running, etc).

 

The best way to tell if Vault is fully operational is by doing a SignIn.  Make sure any SignIn is followed by a SignOut when you are done.  If you are concerned about consuming a license do a readonly SignIn.
