StatusCheck

Gem allows easy implementation of a status endpoint in your project. It provides boilerplate code for commonly used components (Database, Redis, etc) and allow usage of your custom status check.

As a result, the gem can produce hash with a status of every component or be embedded into the routes for an automatic status endpoint.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'status_check'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install status_check

To use status_check you have to do 2 things:

First - create initializer, where you can define what services you want to be checked. Example:

StatusCheck.configure do |c|
  c.check(:my_service, service: StatusCheck::Services::BlockResult, connection: ->{ MyService.is_working? })
  c.check(:database, service: StatusCheck::Services::ActiveRecordSql, connection: ->{ ActiveRecord::Base.connection })
  c.check(:redis, service: StatusCheck::Services::ActiveRecordSql, connection: ->{ Redis.new(url: ENV['REDIS_URL']) })
end

Second - define the route in your routes.rb file

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  ...

  match 'stats', to: StatusCheck::Router, via: :get

  ...
end

You can use status check without routing. In any place of application call:

success, report = StatusCheck.verify
puts success # true
puts report # [{service: 'database', success: true, status: 'OK'}, {service: 'redis', success: true, status: 'OK'}] 

Status check return tuple where first value is boolean (is all services checks are worked) and array of (details for each service)

Check connection to sql database configured via ActiveRecord

class: StatusCheck::Services::ActiveRecordSql connection: block that returns instance of activerecord db connection. ->{ ActiveRecord::Base.connection } verification: verifies if applicaiton can read from database by executing SELECT 1;.

Checks connection to redis

class: StatusCheck::Services::Redis connection: block that returns instance of redis. ->{ Redis.new(url: 'redis://redis.com') } verification: verifies if application can read from redis by executing GET 1.

Checks if connection block returns true or false

class: StatusCheck::Services::BlockResult connection: block that returns true or false depending on status. ->{ MyService.is_working? } verification: verifies if block returns true or false.

There are two ways how you can implement your custom verifications.

• Implement custom service see StatusCheck::Services::Abstract
• Use BlockResult service and implement verification inside of connection block

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
