Health check

  • Health check filter architecture overview

  • This filter should be configured with the type URL type.googleapis.com/envoy.extensions.filters.http.health_check.v3.HealthCheck.

  • v3 API reference

Note

Note that the filter will automatically fail health checks and set the x-envoy-immediate-health-check-fail header on all responses (both health check and normal requests) if the /healthcheck/fail admin endpoint has been called. (The /healthcheck/ok admin endpoint reverses this behavior).
