Invoking the Health Gauge
You can invoke the health gauge via the health endpoint on the Microservices Runtime. When Microservices Runtime runs in a Docker container, you can use the health endpoint to monitor the state of the container from tools such as Kubernetes.
The request URL for the health endpoint is:
http://<hostname>:<port>/health
Where <hostname> is the IP address or name of the machine and <port> is the port number where Microservices Runtime is running.
Invocation of the health endpoint is restricted to users with Administrator access.
Note:
The health endpoint is a predefined URL alias named “health” for the internal service that executes all enabled health indicators. Software AG does not recommend editing the predefined “health” URL alias. If you migrate to Microservices Runtime version 10.3 or higher from an earlier version and you already have a URL alias named “health”, Microservices Runtime does not create a health URL alias that points to the internal service. Any invocations of the health endpoint will not result in execution of health indicators. If you want to use the health gauge and the associated health indicators, you need to rename your existing health URL alias. Upon restart, Microservices Runtime creates a new health URL alias that corresponds to the health endpoint.
