Retrieving status of callas License Server using REST interface
The license server is listening on to two ports: the first one for license requests, already described in one of the previous articles.
The second port is used for the REST interface. The default port for this purpose is 1401 it can be changed by using the --api-port option. If no --api-port option is given and the main port was set using the --port option the license server uses the next port (--port +1 ) for the API port.
The license server provides one REST interface that provides information about the current status of the license server, the cartridges, the failover network and information about running sessions.
The license server provides an HTML status page that uses the /status/data.json interface internally:
<HOSTNAME>:<API_PORT>/status/index.html
