13 Health check endpoints are found at @/_health/ping@ on many Arvados services. The purpose of the health check is to offer a simple method of determining if a service can be reached and allow the service to self-report any problems, suitable for integrating into operational alert systems.
15 To access health check endpoints, services must be configured with a "management token":management-token.html .
17 Health check endpoints return a JSON object with the field @health@. This has a value of either @OK@ or @ERROR@. On error, it may also include a field @error@ with additional information. Examples:
28 "error": "Inverted polarity in the warp core"
32 h2. Healthcheck aggregator
34 The service @arvados-health@ performs health checks on all configured services and returns a single value of @OK@ or @ERROR@ for the entire cluster. It exposes the endpoint @/_health/all@ .
36 The healthcheck aggregator uses the @Services@ section of the cluster-wide @config.yml@ configuration file.
