# Monitoring ARC Compute Elements via the Information System

The `check_arcce_info` probe can be used to basic check of the CE without submitting any jobs. It does so by querying the information system exposed by the CE and passes a judgement based on the relevant part of the returned information according to options passed to the probe.

See `check_arcce_info --help` for a full set of options. The `-H` option is required to indicate the CE, and the probe needs to validate the origin of and authenticate to the CE, which is done based on the `--tls-*` options. The `--require-*` options describe failure condition and `--dump` provides additional output.
