Satellite Provider

The Satellite Provider extends the platform-health server to enable delegation of health checks to another platform-health instance. It does this by querying the configured instance(s) and encapsulating the results.

Usage

Once the Satellite Provider is configured, any query to the platform health server will trigger validation of the configured Satellite instances. A instance is reported "healthy" if-and-only-if the satellite instance reports all of its instances as "healthy".

Configuration

The Satellite Provider is configured through the platform-health server's configuration file, with list of instances under the satellite key.

• name (required): The name of the Satellite service instance, used to identify the service in the health reports.
• host (required): The hostname or IP address of the Satellite service to monitor.
• port (default: 8080): The port number of the Satellite service to monitor.
• tls (default: false, unless port is 443): Enable TLS for the gRPC dialer.
• insecure (default: false): Disable certificate validation when TLS is enabled.

Example

satellite:
  - name: example
    host: satellite.example.com
    port: 8080

In this example, the Satellite Provider will return the health of the platform-health server and its instances running on satellite.example.com:8080.
