Health Checking

Health Check Types

Readiness

Readiness is a special type of health check. Readiness checks will only run until they pass for the first time. After a readiness check passes, it will never be run again. These checks are typically used to indicate that the startup of a component has finished.

Health

Health checks typically indicate that a component is operating as expected. The health of a component may flip due to any arbitrary heuristic the component exposes.

Liveness

Liveness checks are intended to indicate that a component has become unhealthy and has no way to recover.

Naming and Tags

All registered checks must have a unique name which will be included in the health check results.

Additionally, checks can optionally specify an arbitrary number of tags which can be used to group health checks together.

Special Tags

• "All" is a tag that is automatically added for every check that is registered.
• "Application" checks are checks that are globally applicable. This means that it is not possible to filter application-wide health checks from a response.

Health Check Worker

Readiness, Health, and Liveness checks are all implemented by using their own health check worker.

A health check worker starts a goroutine that updates the health of all registered checks every freq. By default freq is set to 30s.

When a health check is added it will always initially report as unhealthy.

Every health check runs in its own goroutine to maximize concurrency. It is guaranteed that no locks from the health checker are held during the execution of the health check.

When the health check worker is stopped, it will finish executing any currently running health checks and then terminate its primary goroutine. After the health check worker is stopped, the health checks will never run again.

Functions

func AwaitAlive

func AwaitAlive(ctx context.Context, c Client, freq time.Duration, tags []string, options ...rpc.Option) (bool, error)

AwaitAlive polls the node every [freq] until the node reports liveness. Only returns an error if [ctx] returns an error.

func AwaitHealthy

func AwaitHealthy(ctx context.Context, c Client, freq time.Duration, tags []string, options ...rpc.Option) (bool, error)

AwaitHealthy polls the node every [freq] until the node reports healthy. Only returns an error if [ctx] returns an error.

func AwaitReady

func AwaitReady(ctx context.Context, c Client, freq time.Duration, tags []string, options ...rpc.Option) (bool, error)

AwaitReady polls the node every [freq] until the node reports ready. Only returns an error if [ctx] returns an error.

func NewGetAndPostHandler

func NewGetAndPostHandler(log logging.Logger, reporter Reporter) (http.Handler, error)

NewGetAndPostHandler returns a health handler that supports GET and jsonrpc POST requests.

func NewGetHandler

func NewGetHandler(reporter func(tags ...string) (map[string]Result, bool)) http.Handler

NewGetHandler return a health handler that supports GET requests reporting the result of the provided [reporter].

Types

type APIArgs

type APIArgs struct {
	Tags []string `json:"tags"`
}

APIArgs is the arguments for Readiness, Health, and Liveness.

type APIReply

type APIReply struct {
	Checks  map[string]Result `json:"checks"`
	Healthy bool              `json:"healthy"`
}

APIReply is the response for Readiness, Health, and Liveness.

type Checker

type Checker interface {
	// HealthCheck returns health check results and, if not healthy, a non-nil
	// error
	//
	// It is expected that the results are json marshallable.
	HealthCheck(context.Context) (interface{}, error)
}

Checker can have its health checked

type CheckerFunc

type CheckerFunc func(context.Context) (interface{}, error)

func (CheckerFunc) HealthCheck

func (f CheckerFunc) HealthCheck(ctx context.Context) (interface{}, error)

type Client

type Client interface {
	// Readiness returns if the node has finished initialization
	Readiness(ctx context.Context, tags []string, options ...rpc.Option) (*APIReply, error)
	// Health returns a summation of the health of the node
	Health(ctx context.Context, tags []string, options ...rpc.Option) (*APIReply, error)
	// Liveness returns if the node is in need of a restart
	Liveness(ctx context.Context, tags []string, options ...rpc.Option) (*APIReply, error)
}

Client interface for Avalanche Health API Endpoint For helpers to wait for Readiness, Health, or Liveness, see AwaitReady, AwaitHealthy, and AwaitAlive.

func NewClient

func NewClient(uri string) Client

NewClient returns a client to interact with Health API endpoint

type Health

type Health interface {
	Registerer
	Reporter

	// Start running periodic health checks at the specified frequency.
	// Repeated calls to Start will be no-ops.
	Start(ctx context.Context, freq time.Duration)

	// Stop running periodic health checks. Stop should only be called after
	// Start. Once Stop returns, no more health checks will be executed.
	Stop()
}

	// HealthCheck. The value is nil if the check passed.
