health

To check the health status of Docker Compose services and infrastructure, you can generate a structured report that detects running containers, executes predefined checks, and outputs JSON or YAML diagnostics. It requires access to system commands like docker, curl, and ps.

Yes, you can run health checks for HTTP APIs, databases, caches, and message brokers. The process executes predefined checks for these common services and generates a structured health report detailing logs, resource usage, and network status.

The best way to audit service health during incident response is to use a single command that detects running services via process listings or Docker Compose, executes health checks, and provides diagnostics like resource usage and logs in JSON or YAML format.

This health check approach works with both Docker Compose and bare-metal processes. It detects running services through process listings or container orchestration, executing checks for common services like HTTP APIs and databases.

You do not strictly need a custom script, but you can optionally use a health_check.py script for JSON output. The process generates a structured health report in JSON or YAML and provides diagnostics using standard system commands.

Service health checks might miss hidden infrastructure issues if they lack access to system commands like docker, curl, and ps. The process requires these commands to detect running services and execute predefined checks for accurate diagnostics.
