In a production environment, where a load balancer or other monitoring tools are used to ensure system availability, Oracle Secure Enterprise Search (Oracle SES) can be monitored easily at the following URL:
http://host:port/monitor/check.jsp.
The page should display the following message: Oracle Secure Enterprise Search instance is up.
This message is not translated to other languages because system monitoring tools might need to byte-compare this string.
If Oracle SES is not available, then the page displays either a connection error or the HTTP status code 503.
