Status API: services endpoint
The /services endpoints provide machine-consumable information about running services. They are intended for scripting and integration with other services.
GET /status/v1/services
Retrieves statuses for all Puppet Enterprise (PE) services on a specific port.
Request format
When Forming status API requests to this endpoint, you must specify the port associated with the PE services you want to query. The default ports and their associated services are as follows:
| Port | Service(s) |
|---|---|
| 4433 |
|
| 8140 |
|
| 8143 |
|
| 8081 | PuppetDB |
Important: If you changed a service's port to something other than the default port, you might need to change the port number in your request.
This endpoint's content type is
application/json; charset=utf-8, and you can append these parameters to the URL:-
level: How thorough of a check to run. Set tocritical,debug, orinfo. The default isinfo. -
timeout: Specified in seconds. The default is30.
For example, this request uses certificate authentication and fetches
info status information for PE services running on port 4433: cert="$(puppet config print hostcert)" cacert="$(puppet config print localcacert)" key="$(puppet config print hostprivkey)" curl --cert "$cert" --cacert "$cacert" --key "$key" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \ --request GET "https://puppet.status.example:4433/status/v1/services?level=info&timeout=60" Response format
The server uses these response codes:
- 200 if, and only if, all services report a status of
running. - 503 if any service’s status is
unknownorerror. - 400 if an invalid level parameter is set (not
critical,debug, orinfo).
A successful response contains a JSON object listing details about the services. Responses use these keys:
| Key | Definition |
|---|---|
service_version | Package version of the JAR file containing a given service. |
service_status_version | The version of the API used to report the status of the service. |
detail_level | The level of detail shown. One of critical, debug, or info. |
state | The current state of the service. One of running, error, or unknown. |
status | An object with the service’s status details. Usually only relevant for error and unknown states. |
active_alerts | An array of objects containing severity and a message about your replication from pglogical if you have replication enabled; otherwise, it's an empty array. |
For example, a request about services on port 4433 (which includes the Activity service, the Classifier, and RBAC) returns a response similar to the following:
{ "activity-service": { "service_version": "2019.8.0.0", "service_status_version": 1, "detail_level": "info", "state": "running", "status": { "db_up": true, "db_pool": { "state": "ready" }, "replication": { "mode": "none", "status": "none" } }, "active_alerts": [] }, "classifier-service": { "service_version": "2019.8.0.0", "service_status_version": 1, "detail_level": "info", "state": "running", "status": { "db_up": true, "db_pool": { "state": "ready" }, "rbac_up": true, "activity_up": true, "replication": { "mode": "none", "status": "none" } }, "active_alerts": [] }, "rbac-service": { "service_version": "2019.8.0.0", "service_status_version": 1, "detail_level": "info", "state": "running", "status": { "db_up": true, "db_pool": { "state": "ready" }, "activity_up": true, "replication": { "mode": "none", "status": "none" } }, "active_alerts": [] }, "status-service": { "service_version": "1.1.0", "service_status_version": 1, "detail_level": "info", "state": "running", "status": {}, "active_alerts": [] } } GET /status/v1/services/<SERVICE NAME>
Retrieves the status of one Puppet Enterprise (PE) service.
Request format
When Forming status API requests to this endpoint, your request must include a properly-formatted service name and the corresponding port. Service names and default ports are as follows:
| Service | Port |
|---|---|
activity-service | 4433 |
broker-service | 8143 (primary server) 8140 (compilers) |
classifier-service | 4433 |
code-manager-service | 8140 |
orchestrator-service | 8143 |
puppetdb-service | 8081 |
rbac-service | 4433 |
server (Puppet Server) | 8140 |
Important: If you changed a service's port to something other than the default port, you might need to change the port number in your request.

level: How thorough of a check to run. Set tocritical,debug, orinfo. The default isinfo. -

For example, this request uses certificate authentication and fetches

The server uses these response codes:
- 200 if, and only if, all services report a status of
running. - 503 if any service’s status is
unknownorerror. - 400 if an invalid level parameter is set (not
critical,debug, orinfo). - 404 if no service matching the supplied service name is found.
A successful response contains a JSON object listing details about the service using these keys:
| Key | Definition |
|---|---|
service_version | Package version of the JAR file containing a given service. |
service_status_version | The version of the API used to report the status of the service. |

active_alerts | An array of objects containing severity and a message about your replication from pglogical if you have replication enabled; otherwise, it's an empty array. |
For example, this response contains information about the RBAC service:
{ "rbac-service": {"service_version": "1.8.11-SNAPSHOT", "service_status_version": 1, "detail_level": "info", "state": "running", "status": { "activity_up": true, "db_up": true, "db_pool": { "state": "ready" }, "replication": { "mode": "none", "status": "none" } }, "active_alerts": [] } }
