Health Checking
Contour exposes two health endpoints /health
and /healthz
. By default these paths are serviced by 0.0.0.0:8000
and are configurable using the --health-address
and --health-port
flags.
e.g. --health-port 9999
would create a health listener of 0.0.0.0:9999
Note: the Service
deployment manifest when installing Contour must be updated to represent the same port as the above configured flags.
The health endpoints perform a connection to the Kubernetes cluster’s API.
