Health Checks
- Config File Key:
health_checks - Type:
array of objects - Optional
When defined, will issue periodic health check requests to upstream servers. When health checks are defined, unhealthy upstream servers would not serve traffic. See also outlier_detection for automatic upstream server health detection. In presence of multiple upstream servers, it is recommended to set up either health_checks or outlier_detection or both.
See Envoy documentation for a list of supported parameters.
Only one of http_health_check, tcp_health_check, or grpc_health_check may be configured per health_check object definition.
See Load Balancing for example configurations.
