Checking that the Dgraph process is running

Use the ping URL command to verify that the Dgraph process is running on a given host name and port number.

To check that the Dgraph process is running, open a browser window and enter the following URL in the Address bar:

http://hostname:port/admin?op=ping

For example, enter:

http://localhost:5555/admin?op=ping

The browser window displays a lightweight HTML page that lists the MDEX Engine's host name and port, followed by a timestamp, as in this example:

dgraph Web07-WIN:5555 responding at Mon Sep 26 09:27:43 2011

If the MDEX Engine is not running, then your browser will display an error message saying that it cannot establish a connection.
