health-check

You can monitor HTTP service health by running curl-based checks against service endpoints to measure response time, validate status codes, and parse JSON responses for uptime and readiness signals.

Readiness probes determine if a service is prepared to receive traffic, while liveness probes check if a service is running properly. HTTP health checks validate both by querying endpoints and evaluating the response status.

Validate HTTP endpoint availability and latency by executing timed HTTP checks that query the service URL, measure response time, and parse JSON output to evaluate status against configured thresholds for dashboard alerting.

Yes, HTTP health checks support orchestrated deployments by implementing readiness and liveness probe style validation, querying HTTP endpoints to verify service availability and performance before routing traffic.

Curl-based HTTP health checks are limited to querying HTTP endpoints and parsing JSON responses. They validate status codes and response times but do not monitor internal application metrics or non-HTTP service protocols.
