Introduction
- The JS7 offers to perform operations on Controllers and Agents by the JS7 - REST Web Service API.
- For detailed information see the Technical Documentation of the REST Web Service API.
- For available CLI operations see JS7 - Unix Shell Command Line Interface.
- The REST Web Service API can be accessed from Shell utilities such as
curl
. - In addition, a PowerShell module is available for simplified access to the REST Web Service API. This is described in the JS7 - PowerShell Module article.
The Controller Status Operation Script offered for Unix Shell can be applied to perform frequently used status operations on Controllers and Agents.
Use of a Controller Cluster or Agent Cluster is subject to the JS7 - License.

The script is offered for download and can be applied for frequently used status operations:
- The script is available for Linux and MacOS® using bash shell.
- The script terminates with exit code 0 to signal successful execution, with exit code 1 for command line argument errors and with exit code 4 for non-recoverable errors. Exit code 3 signals that no matching objects have been found.
- The script is intended as a baseline example for customization by JS7 users and by SOS within the scope of professional services. Examples make use of JS7 Release 2.7.2, bash 4.2, curl 7.29.0 and jq 1.6.0.
Prerequisites
The Script requires the curl utility and the jq utility to be available from the operating system.
jq ships with the MIT license, see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Commands
terminate
- Allows to terminate a Controller instance. If a Controller Cluster is used then no fail-over will occur as normal termination is not considered a failure situation.
- When used with the active Controller instance in a Controller Cluster, users can apply the
--switch-over
switch to shift the active role on termination of the active cluster member. After restart the Controller instance will take the standby role in a Controller Cluster. - In a Controller Cluster the command will terminate the Controller instance identified by its URL using the
--controller-url
option.
restart
- Allows to restart a Controller instance. If a Controller Cluster is used then no fail-over will occur as normal termination is not considered a failure situation. The
--switch-over
switch can be used similarly to theterminate
command. - In a Controller Cluster the command will restart the Controller instance identified by its URL using the
--controller-url
option.
- Allows to restart a Controller instance. If a Controller Cluster is used then no fail-over will occur as normal termination is not considered a failure situation. The
- cancel
- Allows to cancel a Controller instance. The Controller will immediately disconnect from Agents, will not create a journal snapshot and will terminate.
- The command will cause fail-over in a Controller Cluster if used with the active Controller instance. After restart the Controller instance will take the standby role in a Controller Cluster.
- In a Controller Cluster the command will cancel the Controller instance identified by its URL using the
--controller-url
option.
cancel-restart
- The command combines the operations to
cancel
and torestart
a Controller instance.
- The command combines the operations to
status
Returns status information about the Controller instance indicated by a textual status and severity, for details see JS7 - Dashboard:
Status Text Severity Cluster Status coupled 0 Closter Node Status active 0 inactive 1 unknown 3 Component Status operational 0 limited 1 inoperable 2 unknown 3 Connection Status established 0 unstable 1 unreachable 2 unknown 3 - The
--controller-url
option for a given Controller instance must be specified if a Controller Cluster is used.
version
- Returns version information of JOC Cockpit, Controller and Agents.
- When used without options, the JOC Cockpit version will be returned.
- When usiedf with the
--controller-id
option, the version of the indicated Controller will be returned. - When used with the
--agent-id
option, the version of the indicated Agent will be returned. If a Cluster Agent is specified, then version information for included Director Agents and Subagents will be returned in JSON format.
- When used with the
--list
switch, then information about included Controllers and/or Agents will be returned in JSON format.
- Returns version information of JOC Cockpit, Controller and Agents.
check
- Tests the connection between JOC Cockpit and a Controller instance.
- The
--controller-url
option must be specified that will be used from JOC Cockpit to connect to the Controller.
switch-over
- The command allows to shift the active role in a Controller Cluster. For switch-over the Primary and Secondary Controller instance must be coupled.
appoint-nodes
The command can be used in case that a Controller Cluster will not be coupled on initial operation.
- The command is automatically sent by JOC Cockpit to Controller instances after restart.
confirm-loss
- The command can be used in a situation when the active JOC Cockpit Cluster Watch was not witness to failure of the active Controller Cluster member.
- Users can confirm that the failed Controller Cluster member effectively is not running which allows the remaining Controller Cluster member to take the active role.
enable-agent
Agents can be enabled after having been disabled. Enabled Agents are considered for job execution.
disable-agent
- When Agents are disabled, they are not considered for job execution. Running jobs can continue until completion.
status-agent
Returns status information about Agent instances indicated by a textual status and severity, for details see JS7 - Dashboard:
Status Text Severity Cluster Status coupled 0 unknown 3 Cluster Node Status active 0 inactive 1 unknown 3 Agent Status coupled 0 resetting 1 reset 1 initialised 1 couplingfailed 2 shutdown 2 unknown 3 Subagent Status coupled 0 couplingfailed 1 unreachable 2 unknown 3 - The
--controller-id
option must be specified. The--agent-id
option can specify one or more Agent IDs to limit results. Without the option status information for all Agents is returned.
reset-agent
When an Agent is reset then the Agent will terminate and will restart. Job processes running in the Agent will be forcibly terminated and orders will be set to the failed state. When a forced reset is performed, then the operation forces an Agent to be reinitialized, to drop its journal and to be dedicated to the current Controller. Users are recommended to double-check if an Agent is not dedicated to a different Controller before using the
--force
switch.
switch-over-agent
Allows to switch-over the active role between Director Agents in an Agent Cluster. For switch-over the Primary and Secondary Director instance must be coupled.
confirm-loss-agent
The command can be used in a situation when the active Controller Cluster Watch was not witness to failure of the active Director Agent in an Agent Cluster. Users can confirm that the failed Director Agent effectively is not running which allows the remaining Director Agent member to take the active role.
enable-subagent
- Subagents can be enabled after having been disabled. Enabled Subgents are considered for job execution.
disable-subagent
- When Subgents are disabled, they are not considered for job execution. Running jobs can continue until completion.
reset-subagent
- When a Subagent is reset then the Subagent will terminate and will restart. Job processes running in the Subagent will be forcibly terminated and orders will be set to the failed state. When a forced reset is performed, then the operation forces a Subagent to be reinitialized and to be dedicated to the current Agent Cluster. Users are recommended to double-check if a Subagent is not dedicated to a different Agent Cluster before using the
--force
switch.
- When a Subagent is reset then the Subagent will terminate and will restart. Job processes running in the Subagent will be forcibly terminated and orders will be set to the failed state. When a forced reset is performed, then the operation forces a Subagent to be reinitialized and to be dedicated to the current Agent Cluster.

Examples
The following examples illustrate typical use cases for status operations on Controller and Agents.
Terminating, Restarting, Cancelling Controllers
Termination and restart of a Controller instance are offered by a number of commands.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # terminate Standalone Controller ./operate-controller.sh terminate "${request_options[@]}" # restart Standalone Controller ./operate-controller.sh restart "${request_options[@]}" # cancel Standalone Controller ./operate-controller.sh cancel "${request_options[@]}" # cancel and restart Standalone Controller ./operate-controller.sh cancel-restart "${request_options[@]}"
When terminating/restarting a member in a Controller Cluster then --controller-url
option must be used to specify which Controller instance should be terminated/restarted.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # terminate Controller Cluster instance ./operate-controller.sh terminate "${request_options[@]}" --controller-url=http://localhost:4444 # restart Controller Cluster instance ./operate-controller.sh restart "${request_options[@]}" --controller-url=http://localhost:4444 # cancel Controller Cluster instance ./operate-controller.sh cancel "${request_options[@]}" --controller-url=http://localhost:4444 # cancel and restart Controller Cluster instance ./operate-controller.sh cancel-restart "${request_options[@]}" --controller-url=http://localhost:4444
Getting Status Information and Checking Connections to Controllers
Users can check the health status of Controller instances.
The status
command is available to return the health status of a Controller instance.
- The component status and connections status is returned for a Controller.
- The cluster node status is returned for a Controller instance in a Controller Cluster.
- Status information is returned from a textual status and from a numeric severity value.
The check
command can be used to test the connection between JOC Cockpit and a Controller instance.

Switching-over, Appointing Nodes and Confirming Node Loss for Controller Cluster
Users can switch-over the active role in a Controller Cluster.
The appoint-nodes
command is available in case that a Controller Cluster will not be coupled on initial operation.
The confirm-loss
command can be used in a situation when the active JOC Cockpit Cluster Watch was not witness of failure of the active Controller Cluster member.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # switch-over active role in Controller Cluster ./operate-controller.sh switch-over "${request_options[@]}" # terminate Controller instance and switch-over Controller Cluster ./operate-controller.sh terminate "${request_options[@]}" --controller-url=http://localhost:4444 --switch-over # restart Controller instance and switch-over Controller Cluster ./operate-controller.sh restart "${request_options[@]}" --controller-url=http://localhost:4444 --switch-over # appoint nodes for Controller Cluster ./operate-controller.sh appoint-nodes "${request_options[@]}" # confirm node loss for Controller Cluster ./operate-controller.sh confirm-loss "${request_options[@]}"
Enabling, Disabling, Resetting Agents
When Agents are disabled, they are not considered for job execution.
When an Agent is reset then the Agent will terminate and will restart. Users are recommended to double-check if an Agent is not dedicated to a different Controller before using the --force
switch.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # enable Standalone Agent ./operate-controller.sh enable-agent "${request_options[@]}" --agent-id=StandaloneAgent # disable Standalone Agent ./operate-controller.sh disable-agent "${request_options[@]}" --agent-id=StandaloneAgent # reset Standalone Agent ./operate-controller.sh reset-agent "${request_options[@]}" --agent-id=StandaloneAgent # reset/force Standalone Agent ./operate-controller.sh reset-agent "${request_options[@]}" --agent-id=StandaloneAgent --force
For an Agent Cluster the reset-agent
command is available. Enabling/disabling is performed at Subagent level.
When resetting an Agent Cluster then similar behavior applies as for Standalone Agents. Users should be aware that all Subagents in an Agent Cluster will be reset.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # reset Agent Cluster ./operate-controller.sh reset-agent "${request_options[@]}" --agent-id=AgentCluster # reset/force Agent Cluster ./operate-controller.sh reset-agent "${request_options[@]}" --agent-id=AgentCluster --force
Getting Status Information for Agents
Users can check the health status of Agent instances.
The status-agent
command is available to return the health status of an Agent instance.
- When used for a Standalone Agent, then the status of the Agent is returned.
- When used for an Agent Cluster, then
- the cluster status for Primary and Secondary Director Agent instances is returned.
- the cluster node status for Subagents in the Agent Cluster is returned.
- Status information is returned from a textual status and from a numeric severity value.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root) # get status for Standalone Agent response=$(./operate-controller.sh status-agent "${request_options[@]}" --controller-id=controller --agent-id=StandaloneAgent) # returns response {"agents":[{"agentId":"StandaloneAgent","agentName":"StandaloneAgent","controllerId":"controller","disabled":false,"healthState":{"_text":"ALL_SUBAGENTS_ARE_COUPLED_AND_ENABLED","severity":0},"processLimit":42,"runningTasks":0,"state":{"_text":"COUPLED","severity":0},"url":"http://localhost:9446","version":"2.7.2-SNAPSHOT"}],"deliveryDate":"2024-09-23T09:17:39.117Z","surveyDate":"2024-09-08T09:14:12.964Z"} # get severity from status information # get severity from status information echo "$response" | jq -r '.agents[0].state.severity // empty' # get status for Agent Cluster members response=$(./operate-controller.sh status-agent "${request_options[@]}" --controller-id=controller_cluster --agent-id=ClusterAgent) # returns response {"agents":[{"agentId":"ClusterAgent","agentName":"ClusterAgent","clusterState":{"_text":"ClusterCoupled","severity":0},"controllerId":"training_cluster","healthState":{"_text":"ALL_SUBAGENTS_ARE_COUPLED_AND_ENABLED","severity":0},"processLimit":42,"runningTasks":0,"subagents":[{"agentId":"AgentCluster","disabled":false,"runningTasks":0,"state":{"_text":"COUPLED","severity":0},"subagentId":"primary-director-01","url":"https://centostest-primary.sos:9645","version":"2.7.2","clusterNodeState":{"_text":"active","severity":0},"isDirector":"PRIMARY_DIRECTOR"},{"agentId":"ClusterAgent","disabled":false,"runningTasks":0,"state":{"_text":"COUPLED","severity":0},"subagentId":"secondary-director-01","url":"https://centostest-primary.sos:9745","version":"2.7.2","clusterNodeState":{"_text":"inactive","severity":1},"isDirector":"SECONDARY_DIRECTOR"},{"agentId":"ClusterAgent","disabled":false,"runningTasks":0,"state":{"_text":"COUPLED","severity":0},"subagentId":"subagent_01","url":"https://centostest-primary.sos:9845","version":"2.7.2","isDirector":"NO_DIRECTOR"},{"agentId":"ClusterAgent","disabled":false,"runningTasks":0,"state":{"_text":"COUPLED","severity":0},"subagentId":"subagent_02","url":"http://centostest-primary.sos:9846","version":"2.7.2","isDirector":"NO_DIRECTOR"}]}],"deliveryDate":"2024-09-23T09:23:31.269Z","surveyDate":"2024-09-11T19:50:43.408Z"} # get severity from status information echo "$response" | jq -r '.agents[0].clusterState.severity // empty' echo "$response" | jq -r '.agents[0].subagents[0].clusterNodeState.severity // empty'
Switching-over and Confirming Node Loss for Agent Cluster
Users can switch-over the active role in an Agent Cluster.
The confirm-loss-agent
command can be used in a situation when the active Controller Cluster Watch was not witness to failure of the active Director Agent in an Agent Cluster.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # switch-over active role in Agent Cluster ./operate-controller.sh switch-over-agent "${request_options[@]}" --agent-id=AgentCluster # confirm node loss for Agent Cluster ./operate-controller.sh confirm-loss-agent "${request_options[@]}" --agent-id=AgentCluster
Enabling, Disabling and Resetting Subagents
When Subagents in an Agent Cluster are disabled, they are not considered for job execution.
When a Subagent is reset then the Subagent will terminate and will restart. Users are recommended to double-check if a Subagent is not dedicated to a different Agent Cluster before using the --force
switch.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # enable Subagent in Agent Cluster ./operate-controller.sh enable-subagent "${request_options[@]}" --subagent-id=Subagent_01 # disable Subagent in Agent Cluster ./operate-controller.sh disable-subagent "${request_options[@]}" --subagent-id=Subagent_01 # reset Subagent in Agent Cluster ./operate-controller.sh reset-subagent "${request_options[@]}" --subagent-id=Subagent_01 # reset/foce Subagent in Agent Cluster ./operate-controller.sh reset-subagent "${request_options[@]}" --subagent-id=Subagent_01 --force
Using encrypted Passwords
- Secrets can be encrypted and decrypted as explaind with JS7 - Encryption and Decryption.
- Encryption/decryption require related Java libraries that are available from the
./lib
sub-directory. - For creation of a Private Key and Certificate see JS7 - How to create X.509 Encryption Keys.
# create Private Key openssl ecparam -name secp384r1 -genkey -noout -out encrypt.key # create Certificate Signing Request, adjust the subject to your needs openssl req -new -sha512 -nodes -key encrypt.key -out encrypt.csr -subj "/C=DE/ST=Berlin/L=Berlin/O=SOS/OU=IT/CN=Encrypt" # create Certificate, adjust the validity period to your needs openssl x509 -req -sha512 -days 1825 -signkey encrypt.key -in encrypt.csr -out encrypt.crt -extfile <(printf "keyUsage=critical,keyEncipherment,keyAgreement\n") # encrypt the password "root" using the Certificate, the encryption result will be returned and will look like: enc:BEXbHYa... MY_JS7_PASSWORD=$(./operate-controller.sh encrypt --in="root" --cert=encrypt.crt) # store the environment variable to your profile ($HOME/.bash_profile or similar) to make the encrypted password available to the shell # export MY_JS7_PASSWORD=enc:BEXbHYa... # options for connection to the JS7 REST API can specify the encryption result as password and the Private Key for decryption request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password="$MY_JS7_PASSWORD" --key=encrypt.key --controller-id=controller) # for example, when restarting a Controller the Private Key is used to decrypt the password for access to the REST API on-the-fly ./operate-controller.sh restart "${request_options[@]}"
