NetBox HealthCheck Plugin

NetBox plugin for HealthCheck.

NetBox provides health check monitors that can be queried to make sure that the service is running in good condition.

NetBox exposes metrics at the /healthcheck HTTP endpoint under the plugin, e.g. https://netbox.local/plugins/netbox_healthcheck_plugin/healthcheck/. It allows monitor conditions via HTTP(S), with responses available in HTML and JSON formats.
