Programatic health check for Collaborator polling

Jonathan | Last updated: Nov 27, 2023 07:10PM UTC

Hi, I'd like to write a small script that gets cron'ed to check the polling health of burp collaborator for my job's private server. Polling goes down occasionally for consultants and I want to have it restart when I see that haead of time. Can you give me an example of a request I can send to my server's polling address so that I can proactively check if polling works? visiting the polling address alone just gives a 404

Hi Although when you connect to the polling address, you get a 404 response, this is still an indicator that the collaborator server is running, so checking for this would still work for confirming the server was alive. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi Michelle, thanks for the reply! Is it possible to know how to perform the healthcheck myself? I imagine its done via some simple HTTP requests?
