TCP Health probe

We provide a TCP health probe endpoint that allows a runtime to periodically check the liveness/readiness of the host based on the .NET Core health checks.

Installation

This features requires to install our NuGet package:

PM > Install-Package Arcus.Messaging.Health

Usage

To include the TCP endpoint, add the following line of code in the Startup.ConfigureServices method:

using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.HealthChecks;

public class Startup
{
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        // Add TCP health probe without extra health checks.
        services.AddTcpHealthProbes("MyConfigurationKeyToTcpHealthPort");
    
        // Or, add your extra health checks in a configuration delegate.
        services.AddTcpHealthProbes(
            "MyConfigurationKeyToTcpHealthPort",
            configureHealthChecks: healthBuilder => 
            {
                healthBuilder.AddCheck("Example", () => HealthCheckResult.Healthy("Example is OK!"), tags: new[] { "example" })
            });
    }
}

Configuration

The TCP probe allows several additional configuration options.

using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

public class Startup
{
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        // Add TCP health probe with or without extra health checks.
        services.AddTcpHealthProbes(
            "MyConfigurationKeyToTcpHealthPort",
            configureTcpListenerOptions: options =>
            {
                // Configure the configuration key on which the health report is exposed.
                options.TcpPortConfigurationKey = "MyConfigurationKey";

                // Configure how the health report should be serialized.
                options.HealthReportSerializer = new MyHealthReportSerializer();
            });
    }
}

using Arcus.Messaging.Health;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.HealthChecks;

public class MyHealthReportSerializer : IHealthReportSerializer
{
    public byte[] Serialize(HealthReport healthReport)
    {
        return Array.Empty<byte>();
	}
}
