Healthcheck

In service oriented architecture happens that you have a lot of services. They can crash sometimes on Heroku or else where you host them. This gem will help to quickly check their heart beat.

$ gem install soa_doctor

If you install the gem it'll give the executable: $ healthcheck --help

For example you have YAML file with your services listed:

services:
  google: "http://google.com"
  yahoo:  "http://yahoo.com"
  yandex: "http://yandex.com"

So you do

$ healthcheck -f you_yaml_file.yaml

You can always run

$ healthcheck --help

for more options or just to get a simple help.

The output would be a table or services and their statuses.

P.S: One more note, since soa_doctor uses escort it stores a ~/.healthcheck file at your home dir. It looks like this:

{
  "global": {
    "options": {
      "file": null,
      "config": null,
      "verbosity": "WARN",
      "error_output_format": "basic"
    },
    "commands": {
      "escort": {
        "options": {
          "create_config": null,
          "create_default_config": null,
          "update_config": null,
          "update_default_config": null
        },
        "commands": {
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "user": {
  }
}

You can modify the file dir so it'll pick it up as default. So you can run simply: $ healthcheck And get the desired output.
