Advanced tools
Health check client and service for use with gRPC-node.
This package provides an implementation of the gRPC Health Checking Protocol service, as described in gRFC L106.
Use the package manager npm to install grpc-health-check
.
npm install grpc-health-check
Any gRPC-node server can use grpc-health-check
to adhere to the gRPC Health Checking Protocol.
The following shows how this package can be added to a pre-existing gRPC server.
// Import package
import { HealthImplementation, ServingStatusMap } from 'grpc-health-check';
// Define service status map. Key is the service name, value is the corresponding status.
// By convention, the empty string '' key represents that status of the entire server.
const statusMap = {
'ServiceFoo': 'SERVING',
'ServiceBar': 'NOT_SERVING',
'': 'NOT_SERVING',
};
// Construct the service implementation
const healthImpl = new HealthImplementation(statusMap);
healthImpl.addToServer(server);
// When ServiceBar comes up
healthImpl.setStatus('serviceBar', 'SERVING');
Congrats! Your server now allows any client to run a health check against it.
Any gRPC-node client can use the service
object exported by grpc-health-check
to generate clients that can make health check requests.
The absolute path to health.proto
can be obtained on the command line with node -p 'require("grpc-health-check").protoPath'
.
