Description

This library supports performing active and passive health checks on arbitrary hosts.

Control of the library happens via its programmatic API. Consumption of its events happens via the lua-resty-worker-events library.

Targets are added using checker:add_target(host, port). Changes in status ("healthy" or "unhealthy") are broadcasted via worker-events.

Active checks are executed in the background based on the specified timer intervals.

For passive health checks, the library receives explicit notifications via its programmatic API using functions such as checker:report_http_status(host, port, status).

See the online LDoc documentation for the complete API.
