Health Checks Configuration

Post-deployment availability checks

You can configure your application to automatically run global availability checks against an HTTP endpoint each time it is deployed. Results of these checks are available on your Cloud 66 dashboard under ActiveProtect.

Positioning Health Check settings

Note that all of the Health Check settings must be nested under the configuration → activeprotect → health_check sub-node.

The following settings are available via the Manifest file:

Option	Description	Clouds
`endpoint`	The endpoint to that will be queried during the check	All
`accept`	The set of HTTP codes we will accept as valid from the endpoint (as an array)	All
`timeout`	The timeout limit in seconds of the endpoint (limit: `10`)	All
`max_redirects`	The number of acceptable HTTP redirects (limit: `10`)	All
`cooldown`	The delay between the end of the deployment process and the start of the test, in seconds. (limit: `1800`)	All

Example YAML for post-deployment global availability checks

docker:
  configuration:
    activeprotect:
      health_check:
        endpoint: '/' # Default is root '/'
        accept: ["200", "300-399"] # Default is 200
        timeout: 2 # Default is 5
        max_redirects: 5 # Default is 3
        cooldown: 120 # Default is 0
