Upbeat Health

This is a variety of strategies upbeat uses to test the health of various services. They are simple and can be used outside of upbeat-server.

Usage

For a simple one-time health check:

var health = require('upbeat-health');
var tcp = health.tcp("localhost:3000");
tcp(function (err) { console.log(err ? err : "No error") });

For an interval based health check:

var health = require('upbeat-health');
var checker = health.checker(health.http("http://www.google.com"));
checker.on('unhealthy', function () { console.log('unhealthy') });
checker.on('healthy', function () { console.log('healthy') });
checker.start();

API

Main object (health = require('upbeat-health'))

health.http([options])

Returns a function that you can call that accepts one callback. This callback's provides the error status of the check if failed. Error is null if passed. NOTE: http can be any strategy name. eg: health.tcp([options]), health.http([optios]), etc...

For a list of strategies, look below.

  var http = health.http('http://www.google.com');
  http(function (err) { console.log(err) });

health.checker(strategy, [options]);

  1. strategy: strategy function
  2. options (Object)
  3. interval (integer): the number of milliseconds to wait before calling the next health check

Returns a checker object.

Checker

  var checker = new health.Checker(strategy, options);
  // or
  var checker = health.checker(strategy, options);

checker.start()

Start running checks. Intervals start after the completion (or timeout) of each check. This means that the time between checks is interval+checkTime.

checker.stop()

Stop running checks. Will still handle the last check if its in the process of running it.
