SYNOPSIS
# using Plack::Builder with Plack::App::URLMap
use Plack::Builder;
use Plack::App::ServiceStatus;
my $status_app = Plack::App::ServiceStatus->new(
app => 'your app',
DBIC => $schema,
Elasticsearch => $es, # instance of Search::Elasticsearch
);
builder {
mount "/_status" => $status_app;
mount "/" => $your_app;
};
# using OX
router as {
mount '/_status' => 'Plack::App::ServiceStatus' => (
app => literal(__PACKAGE__),
Redis => 'redis',
'+MyApp::ServiceStatus' => literal("foo"),
);
route '/some/endpoint' => 'some_controller.some_action';
# ...
};
# checking the status
curl http://localhost:3000/_status | json_pp

DESCRIPTION
Plack::App::ServiceStatus
implements a small Plack application that you can use to get some status info on your application and the services needed by it.
You can then use some monitoring software to periodically check if your app is running and has access to all needed services.
Checks
The following checks are currently available:
Each check consists of a name
and a status
. The status can be ok
or nok
. A check might also contain a message
, which should be some description of the error or problem if the status is nok
.
You can add your own checks by specifying a name starting with a +
sign, for example +My::App::SomeStatusCheck
.
Weirdness
The slightly strange way Plack::App::ServiceStatus
is initiated is caused by the way OX works.
Plack::App::ServiceStatus
is not implemented as a middleware on purpose. While middlewares are great for a lot of use cases, I think that here an embedded app is the better fit.
TODO
proper documentation
tests
make sure the app is only initiated once when running in OX
