Cognos dispatcher and gateway health check

[cog8user]

Folks,
Are there ways to programmatically check the health status of a dispatcher and gateway and they are healthy enough to allow successful login?
I tried a small SDK code to login a dispatcher URI but this does not work for a gateway. Idea is to periodically check logins and alert (emails) when there is a problem.

Very rare but sometimes dispatchers are up but gateway somehow gets into a problem (hardware, network, etc.) or vice versa. We want to be proactive than being reactive to incidents.

Thanks

In cognos administration you can check the availability of the dispatchers and contentmanagers under "Systems".
But in your requirement as programmatically check for successful login, id say sdk is good or create a url with login details wich you can run/test anytime.
