SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Monitor a deployment after it goes live, polling for errors and regressions until health is confirmed or a problem surfaces. Inspired by gstack's canary skill.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Continuous post-deploy health validation by checking logs for new errors, error rates, and endpoint responses.
  • Configurable polling loop with adjustable interval and duration, plus clear health/status reporting.
  • Suitable for CI/CD pipelines, staging environments, and production canary experiments to detect regressions early.

Quick Start

Run the canary monitor after deployment to start polling logs, error rates, and key endpoints until health is confirmed or an issue is detected.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor a deployment for errors and regressions after shipping?

Post-deployment health validation works by continuously polling logs, error rates, and health endpoints to detect regressions early. A configurable polling loop runs until health is confirmed or an issue is detected.

How do I automate post-release health checks in a CI/CD pipeline?

Automating post-release health checks in a CI/CD pipeline involves running a continuous polling loop against logs, error rates, and key endpoints. The process exits when healthy or reports detected issues.

Can I use automated canary checks for staging environments and production experiments?

Yes, automated canary checks are suitable for staging environments, production canary experiments, and CI/CD pipelines. They continuously verify health across logs and endpoints to detect regressions early.

What is the best way to continuously verify health across logs and endpoints after a release?

The best way to continuously verify health after a release is using a configurable polling loop that checks logs, error rates, and endpoint responses. It reports status clearly and exits when healthy or when an issue surfaces.

Do I need to configure the polling interval and duration for post-deploy monitoring?

Yes, post-deploy monitoring requires setting a configurable polling loop with an adjustable interval and duration. This configuration allows you to tailor the continuous health validation to your specific deployment needs.
