Status API
The Status API allows you to check the health of your Qualytics deployment and manage the dataplane lifecycle programmatically.
Tip
For complete API documentation, including request/response schemas, visit the API docs.
All endpoints are served from your Qualytics deployment (e.g., https://your-instance.qualytics.io). The paths below include the /api prefix.
Get Platform Info
Retrieve the platform version, cloud provider, engine type, and deployment size.
Endpoint: GET /api
Permission: Member user role

Get Platform Status
Check the health of all backend services: database, RabbitMQ, dataplane, and private routes.
Endpoint: GET /api/status
Permission: Member user role
Example request and response
Request:
Response (healthy dataplane):
{
"database_connection": "OK",
"rabbitmq_connection": "OK",
"dataplane_healthcheck": {
"build_date": "2026-03-28",
"implementation_version": "2.8.1",
"git_hash": "60de4a5",
"spark_version": "3.5.1",
"driver_free_memory_mb": 4096,
"max_executors": 8,
"max_memory_per_executor_mb": 8192,
"cores_per_executor": 4,
"max_dataframe_size_mb": 2048,
"thread_pool_parallelism": 16,
"thread_pool_state": "2 running operations [op-48291, op-48305] with 3 queued requests and 8 provisioned channels"
},
"private_routes": {
"healthcare-db.internal:5432": "OK",
"hr-db.internal:3306": "OK"
}
}
Response (unhealthy dataplane) — when the dataplane is unreachable, dataplane_healthcheck degrades to a simple "UNHEALTHY" string:
Response Schema
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
database_connection |
string |
Database connectivity status (OK or UNHEALTHY). |
rabbitmq_connection |
string |
RabbitMQ connectivity status (OK or UNHEALTHY). |
dataplane_healthcheck |
string or object |
Either UNHEALTHY (string) or a DataplaneStatus object with the fields below. |
private_routes |
object or null |
Dictionary of host:port to status message. Only present when private connections exist. |
DataplaneStatus Fields
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
build_date |
string |
The date the dataplane was built. |
implementation_version |
string |
The version of the dataplane. |
git_hash |
string |
The git commit hash of the dataplane build. |
spark_version |
string |
The Apache Spark version. |
driver_free_memory_mb |
integer |
Free memory available on the Spark driver (in MB). |
max_executors |
integer |
Maximum number of executor nodes. |
max_memory_per_executor_mb |
integer |
Maximum memory per executor (in MB). |
cores_per_executor |
integer |
Number of CPU cores per executor. |
max_dataframe_size_mb |
integer |
Maximum dataframe size (in MB). |
thread_pool_parallelism |
integer |
Thread pool parallelism level. |
thread_pool_state |
string |
Current thread pool state with running operations, queued requests, and provisioned channels. |
Note
The git_hash, driver_free_memory_mb, and thread_pool_parallelism fields are available only through the API and are not displayed in the UI.
Info
For the UI equivalent, see the Platform Status page.
Restart Dataplane
Send a graceful shutdown signal to the dataplane. In a properly configured deployment, this triggers an immediate restart of the engine.
Endpoint: PUT /api/admin/restart
Permission: Admin user role
Note
This endpoint does not require a request body. The restart is triggered by the request itself — the controlplane sends a shutdown message to the dataplane through RabbitMQ, and the orchestration platform (Kubernetes, Databricks) handles the actual restart.
Example request
Request:
curl -X PUT "https://your-instance.qualytics.io/api/admin/restart" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
Response: 200 OK (empty body)
Warning
Restarting the dataplane interrupts all in-flight operations. See Restart Dataplane for details on the impact.
Info
The endpoint returns 200 OK once the shutdown message is sent — it does not wait for the restart to complete. There is no check for an in-progress restart, so calling this endpoint multiple times will send multiple shutdown signals. Use GET /api/status to poll the dataplane health after triggering a restart.
Error Responses
| Status Code | Description |
|---|---|
401 Unauthorized |
Missing or invalid API token. |
403 Forbidden |
User does not have the required role. |
Permission Summary
| Operation | Minimum Permission |
|---|---|
| Get platform info | Member user role |
| Get platform status | Member user role |
| Restart dataplane | Admin user role |
Note
The Status page in the UI requires the Manager role to access, but the underlying API endpoints (GET /api and GET /api/status) only require the Member role. See the Permissions page for details.
