There's no official ping method, but you could try GETting
/fedora/objects/fedora-system:FedoraObject-3.0/objectXML

That built-in object should be present in all 3.x repositories, and
"Get Object XML" has historically fallen under the API-M banner, so
it'll require AuthN to get it.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
