Adding a Healthcheck Endpoint

A healthcheck endpoint provides a means of verifying that your application is able to serve HTTP traffic. This library provides a simple IHttpHandler implementation that returns:

• 200 OK status
• A response body of OK

To wire this handler into your application at /health, add the following to your Web.config:

<location path="health">
    <system.webServer>
        <handlers>
            <add name="ToolhousHealthHandler" path="*" verb="*" type="Toolhouse.Monitoring.Handlers.HealthEndpointHandler, Toolhouse.Monitoring"/>
        </handlers>
    </system.webServer>
</location>

You can verify it is working via curl:

> curl -i http://localhost/health
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
