The health servlet is a legacy interface that IMO should not be used at all,
marked obsolete and removed as soon as we can.

Please make the notification service use the formal supported API to pull
engine status.

This applies to both setup and hosted.

Thanks!

 import ovirtsdk.api
 ovirtapi=ovirtsdk.api.API(
   url='https://sbonazzo.csb/api',
   username='admin@internal',
   password='****',
   ca_file='/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem',
 )
 once connection is established (engine running), how may I know if DB is Up?

our application is not initialized if database connection is down... or do you suggest otherwise...?

# systemctl stop ovirt-engine
# systemctl stop postgresql
# systemctl start ovirt-engine
# curl -v -k https://admin%40internal:engine@localhost/api
# systemctl start postgresql
# curl -v -k https://admin%40internal:engine@localhost/api

BTW: I do not see our application recovering from database down anyway...
