Verifying that an instance is running

You can verify that a Pega Platform instance is running.

1. In a browser address bar, enter the following URL:

   http://<<hostName:port/contextName>>/PRRestService/monitor/pingservice/ping.

2. The Pega Platform Engine responds with HTTP Response Code 200 if the instance is available. The response contains JSON text in the format { "duration":"<time in milliseconds>" }. Any other response codes or time-out indicate that the instance is unavailable.
