Based on your other questions, I think you're running cloud. If that assumption is correct, use the Collections API with HttpSolrClient (instead of CloudSolrClient) to get a list of collections. Using HttpSolrClient will direct the request to that specific server. If it doesn't throw an exception, it's up. Here's some SolrJ code. You're going to need some exception handling that's not included here: RequestConfig rc = RequestConfig.custom().setConnectTimeout(5000).setSocketTimeout(5000) .build(); HttpClient hc = HttpClients.custom().setDefaultRequestConfig(rc).disableAutomaticRetries().build(); SolrClient client = new HttpSolrClient("http://server:8983/solr", hc); CollectionAdminRequest.List req = new CollectionAdminRequest.List(); CollectionAdminResponse response = req.process(client); I am setting the timeouts for HttpClient to five seconds so that the request will time out relatively quick in the case where the server isn't up, or where it's up but not functioning correctly.
