[Cloud-announce] Re: [toolforge] Health checks available for webservices

Hi all! Good news, we have enabled health checks for all the webservices running on toolforge. There's no action required on your part, the next time you restart or stop/start your webservice, it will have a tcp health check by default (just making sure something is listening). The most interesting feature though is being able to pass a url to use as HTTP health check. To do so you can pass `--health-check-url /path/to/health` to your `toolforge webservice start` command, and toolforge will automatically restart your webservice if it stops responding to that path (you can change the path to whatever you want, ex. `/`). Note that this url will be queried quite often, so try to avoid hitting a page that uses many resources. Also a reminder that you can find this and smaller user-facing updates about the Toolforge platform features here: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Toolforge/Changelog Original task: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341919 Cheers! -- David Caro SRE - Cloud Services Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/> PGP Signature: 7180 83A2 AC8B 314F B4CE 1171 4071 C7E1 D262 69C3 "Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
