health-go

• Exposes an HTTP handler that retrieves health status of the application
• Implements some generic checkers for the following services:
  • RabbitMQ
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • HTTP
  • MongoDB
  • MySQL
  • gRPC
  • Memcached

Usage

The library exports Handler and HandlerFunc functions which are fully compatible with net/http.

Additionally, library exports Measure function that returns summary status for all the registered health checks, so it can be used in non-HTTP environments.

Handler

package main

import (
	"context"
	"net/http"
	"time"

	"github.com/hellofresh/health-go/v4"
	healthMysql "github.com/hellofresh/health-go/v4/checks/mysql"
)

func main() {
	// add some checks on instance creation
	h, _ := health.New(health.WithChecks(health.Config{
		Name:      "rabbitmq",
		Timeout:   time.Second * 5,
		SkipOnErr: true,
		Check: func(ctx context.Context) error {
			// rabbitmq health check implementation goes here
			return nil
		}}, health.Config{
		Name: "mongodb",
		Check: func(ctx context.Context) error {
			// mongo_db health check implementation goes here
			return nil
		},
	},
	))

	// and then add some more if needed
	h.Register(health.Config{
		Name:      "mysql",
		Timeout:   time.Second * 2,
		SkipOnErr: false,
		Check: healthMysql.New(healthMysql.Config{
			DSN: "test:test@tcp(0.0.0.0:31726)/test?charset=utf8",
		}),
	})

	http.Handle("/status", h.Handler())
	http.ListenAndServe(":3000", nil)
}

HandlerFunc

package main

import (
	"context"
	"net/http"
	"time"

	"github.com/go-chi/chi"
	"github.com/hellofresh/health-go/v4"
	healthMysql "github.com/hellofresh/health-go/v4/checks/mysql"
)

func main() {
	// add some checks on instance creation
	h, _ := health.New(health.WithChecks(health.Config{
		Name:      "rabbitmq",
		Timeout:   time.Second * 5,
		SkipOnErr: true,
		Check: func(ctx context.Context) error {
			// rabbitmq health check implementation goes here
			return nil
		}}, health.Config{
		Name: "mongodb",
		Check: func(ctx context.Context) error {
			// mongo_db health check implementation goes here
			return nil
		},
	},
	))

	// and then add some more if needed
	h.Register(health.Config{
		Name:      "mysql",
		Timeout:   time.Second * 2,
		SkipOnErr: false,
		Check: healthMysql.New(healthMysql.Config{
			DSN: "test:test@tcp(0.0.0.0:31726)/test?charset=utf8",
		}),
	})

	r := chi.NewRouter()
	r.Get("/status", h.HandlerFunc)
	http.ListenAndServe(":3000", nil)
}
