Hi, there are a number of third-party tools for connecting to and consuming Denodo RESTful APIs. Any tool that supports REST allows for this. Also note that REST data can be made available as JSON or XML for easy consumption. It sounds like you are specifically asking about tools to monitor RESTful web services (By default the services will be deployed to a Tomcat server in Denodo). There are a lot of open source and commercial applications that specialize in such monitoring, or you can develop your own monitoring scripts. Take a look at this page:
[**Alternatives to the Ping Script**](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/7.0/vdp/administration/cluster_architectures_server_backup/how_to_check_if_a_virtual_dataport_server_is_alive/how_to_check_if_a_virtual_dataport_server_is_alive#alternatives-to-the-ping-script)
This method creates a new view called “ping_query_view” that can be accessed via a RESTful Web Service URL, and be used by external monitoring scripts to check the status of the server:
**http://localhost:9090/denodo-restfulws/admin/views/ping_query_view**
Hope this helps!
