Checking pipeline status using the command line

Keeping track of the current status of pipelines is important, because if a pipeline is down, part of the system is down. Many organizations check pipelines through the Pipeline Status tab in the Configuration Console, because it displays the latest pipeline status and statistics based on an automatic system poll every 60 seconds. But you can use a command line to check the status of a particular pipeline or all pipelines on a particular pipeline node. (The command line check provides only pipeline status, not pipeline performance statistics.)

Before you begin:
Procedure:
  1. From a command line on the pipeline node, complete one of the following steps:
    • To check the status of all pipelines on this pipeline node, type the following commandpipeline -l
    • To check the status of a particular pipeline on this pipeline node, type the following command pipeline -n pipelinename -l
    where pipelinename is the unique name of the pipeline you want to check.
    Note: The name you type must match the name used to start the pipeline.
  2. Press Enter.
The system returns one of the following statuses for each pipeline:
For example, to check the status of pipeline08, you would type the following command: pipeline -n pipeline08 -l
What to do next:
If the status of a pipeline is unexpectedly listed as Stopped, you may want to use the troubleshooting topics to discover the reason.
