How to tell if cloudstack-management is 'really' up?
I know the service cloudstack-management status shows running but
while the server is coming up for the first time (eg: ephemeral test
environment) how does one detect that the service is actually
ready for requests on 8080?
I could use the auth mechanism that the UI uses by forming a
listcapabilities call after login. But is there any other way?
The problem I'm facing is that I alter the configuration table to suit
my test but the ConfigurationServer class later populates the default
values overwriting my settings.

Just do any list api calls on port 8080, if you get 401 auth error, it's
up. In the XML response you can see for sure the cloudstack version, this
way you can know it's cloudstack and not any other service running on 8080.

What would be really nice to have is a "health check" URL which when called, would exercise a set of well defined internal tests within the application and return "OK" if all tests passed. These tests could be very basic tests like verify DB availability, write access to /tmp location, etc
The health check URL would be most useful when running multiple management servers behind LBs. Of course, the health check URL should only work from whitelisted IPs.
If this is a useful RFR, I'll open a Jira request.

Scrape the log for ' now listening on port 8080' or parse netstat output for something similar? Possibly keep trying to access the API until a valid response is given. Just throwing these out there, disregard if they are useless to you.
