status URL?

[angelnu]

I am adding monitoring of my home infrastructure with https://github.com/statping/statping

It basically relays on regularly calling URLs and checking the response code and potentially content.

Since my RaspberryMatic is configured with autologing (once I pass my home Single-Log-On) calling the main page of homematic results in a session being created which eventually hit the max number, specially if the http ping is each minute.

So is there a URL to check status of the RaspberryMatic without login and therefore consuming a session ID?

That's exactly one reason why in a future version we will probably retired the auto-login feature of the WebUI completly. It is not only consuming a session-id each time and thus would be a perfect place for DoS attacks, it also has other security related issues. So my suggestion would be to switch of auto-login and then use the standard http://homematic-raspi/login.htm URL as a status type of URL.

The only addition URL you could potentially use is the UPNP service URL usually available at:

http://<IP>/upnp/basic_dev.cgi

This should return some XML stuff. However, this will also be served even thought ReGaHss or other necessary services are down, thus only means the lighttpd webserver is up.

Thanks @jens-maus - I will try to disable auto-login - if it works stable on my setup I would add the check to the Helm Chart
