## MinIO Healthcheck

MinIO server exposes two un-authenticated, healthcheck endpoints - liveness probe and readiness probe at `/minio/health/live` and `/minio/health/ready` respectively.

### Liveness probe

This probe is used to identify situations where the server is running but may not behave optimally, i.e. sluggish response or corrupt back-end. Such problems can be *only* fixed by a restart.

Internally, MinIO liveness probe handler checks if backend is alive and in read quorum to take requests.

When liveness probe fails, Kubernetes like platforms restart the container.

### Readiness probe

This probe is used to identify situations where the server is not ready to accept requests yet. In most cases, such conditions recover in some time such as quorum not available on drives due to load.

Internally, MinIO readiness probe handler checks for backend is alive and in read quorum then the server returns 200 OK, otherwise 503 Service Unavailable.

Platforms like Kubernetes *do not* forward traffic to a pod until its readiness probe is successful. 

### Configuration example

Sample `liveness` and `readiness` probe configuration in a Kubernetes `yaml` file can be found [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/orchestration/kubernetes/minio-standalone-deployment.yaml).

Add healthcheck endpoints (#5543) This PR adds readiness and liveness endpoints to probe Minio server instance health. Endpoints can only be accessed without authentication and the paths are /minio/health/live and /minio/health/ready for liveness and readiness respectively. The new healthcheck liveness endpoint is used for Docker healthcheck now. Fixes #5357 Fixes #5514 2018-03-12 02:16:53 -04:00

			`### Liveness probe`
Update healthcheck related examples and add head support (#5650) - Add head method for healthcheck endpoint. Some platforms/users may use the HTTP Head method to check for health status. - Add liveness and readiness probe examples in Kubernetes yaml example docs. Note that readiness probe not added to StatefulSet example due to https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/27114 2018-03-15 00:25:02 -04:00
